A nasal spray, being developed as a potential vaccine for the deadly Ebola virus, has been found to protect monkeys in pre-clinical trials.
Scientists at the University of Texas discovered the breathable vaccine offers long-term protection against the virus.
Since the current outbreak erupted in West Africa earlier this year, almost 5,000 people have lost their lives - the majority in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
A number of injectable experimental vaccines are being trialled in the US, UK and Mali, with plans to extend human trials into other parts of Europe, Gabon and Kenya.

This nasal spray sounds like protection against getting it, not getting rid of it once infected. This sounds like a prevention spray not a cure.

No, I"m talking about if there is a pandemic outbreak.
Otherwise I wouldn't even consider it.
Heck ... even with an outbreak I might not consider it.
Like I said ... I have neurological issues and all ...
