Ebola basically gives you a fever that is so high it melts your organs. After several days you do what they call "crash and bleed out" where you just start hemorrhaging out of every orifice and die. If you get it there really isn't anything they can do, but give you pain killers and try to fight the fever. It is mostly a wait and see. The fatality rate ranges from 60%-100% depending on the strain and some other factors.
It is nasty stuff.
What is even scarier is that a person can have it and be contagious for up to two weeks and not know it. So they can be traveling around passing it to other people without even realizing it.
