I'll repeat...there is not a 10-second rule for Ebola. Getting contaminants on your skin can cause you to contract Ebola. The longer it is on your skin, the more likely it is you will contract the virus. However, even a microsecond of contact CAN cause the virus to pass to you.

Point taken. CAN and WILL definitely big difference.
