Expert Says Ebola Scare Fueling Renewed Interest in Survival Plants and Seeds

Carson City, NV, October 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- A Home and Garden America Seed Expert feels that the recent Ebola scare, along with all the media attention, is fueling a renewed interest in survival plants and seeds. The Ebola virus is a disease of primates and humans with symptoms including rashes, vomiting and diarrhea. Later, these symptoms are accompanied by decreased function of the kidneys and liver. Then persons can begin bleeding either internally or externally or both.

The main ways that the virus is known to spread are through contacts with bodily fluids such as blood, semen, etc. The first symptoms are similar to other viral hemorrhagic fevers, malaria and cholera so before one can be diagnosed with the Ebola Virus, these other conditions must be ruled out. Then blood tests are administered to detect the presence of the virus or other known indicators.

"The preoccupation with survival preparedness has been waning over the past couple of years, since it's height at the end of December 2012 and the non-fulfillment of the Mayan Calendar predictions," he said. "Now, it seems that people are beginning to renew that interest in self sufficiency and survival preparedness by purchasing emergency food supplies, water and survival seeds. We're certainly living in uncertain times and the Bible predicts famines and pestilence before the end of time so it's not a bad idea to prepare for these things."

There are many companies selling survival supplies online as well in survivalist stores around the country. This is an indicator of the demand for this type of products that people feel will help them through any coming disasters whether short term or long term.

"Concerning the Ebola Virus, there's nothing wrong with being prepared," he continued, "it makes no difference if you don't need these things because you can always use them up and then restock so they don't become outdated and less potent when you need them."
