Ebola: A Crash Course in Fear
Scientists explain Ebola's scare factor and that what we really should
fear is fear itself.

WASHINGTON (AP) Ebola is giving Americans a crash course in fear.
.
Yet, they're incredibly less likely to get the disease than to get sick
worrying about it.
.
First, the reality check: More Americans have married Kim Kardashian
three than contracted Ebola in the U.S. The two Dallas nurses who came
down with Ebola were infected while treating a Liberian man, who became
infected in West Africa.
.
Still, schools have been closed, people shunned and members of Congress
have demanded travel bans and other dramatic action even though health
officials keep stressing that the disease is only spread through direct
contact with bodily fluids from an infected person, and the risk to
Americans is extremely low.
.
That's because Ebola pushes every fear button in our instincts, making us
react more emotionally than rationally, experts say.
.
"The worry that people are being subjected to as a result of the hysteria
around this is probably doing more damage than the actual disease," said
E. Alison Holman, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, who
studied the health effects of populations worried after watching coverage
of the Sept. 11 attacks, the Boston Marathon bombing and Iraq war.
"Frankly flu is more serious."
