The big question, eh?  Wouldn't we all like to know ....

Question: The dim recesses of my memory say the the index cases for the 
last two Ebola outbreaks both worked in cotton mills. I recall one such 
mill being virtually pulled to pieces in an attempt to find an insect, 
animal, or any organic matter with traces of the virus, to no avail.

Does anyone here know anything about that?
