What you think? Is that real already or just a persiflage of those movies I apperantly watched to many of?
I can't tell. I neither score drugs nor did I ever hang in these hoods... but I know Nigerians don't speak Portuguese. Beside Brazil, Portuguese is spoken as an official language in six African countries: Angola, Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe.
Can't be real than.
Yes, **Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)** is one infection that causes both vomiting and severe headaches. These are very common symptoms, especially in the early stages.
However, it is **crucial to know** that many other, much more common illnesses can also cause this combination of symptoms. Ebola is a very rare and severe disease, typically only found in specific geographic regions during outbreaks.
Here’s a breakdown to provide more context:
### Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)
* **Symptoms:** In addition to sudden vomiting and severe headache, Ebola typically causes:
* High fever
* Severe muscle and joint pain
* Diarrhea (often becomes severe and bloody)
* Abdominal pain
* Unexplained bleeding or bruising (a later-stage symptom)
* **Key Fact:** Ebola is a severe and often fatal disease. It is not spread through the air but through direct contact with the blood, body fluids, or tissues of an infected person or animal.

### Other Common Infections that Cause Vomiting and Headache
It is far more likely that vomiting and a headache are caused by one of these common conditions:
1. **Norovirus / "Stomach Flu":** This is a very common cause. It causes sudden onset of vomiting, watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, and can also include a headache, low-grade fever, and body aches.
2. **Influenza (The Flu):** While respiratory symptoms are classic, the flu can also cause significant headaches, body aches, fever, and sometimes nausea and vomiting, especially in children.
3. **Meningitis:** This is a serious infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. A severe, persistent headache is a hallmark symptom, often accompanied by fever, stiff neck, nausea, and vomiting, and sensitivity to light. **This is a medical emergency.**
4. **Encephalitis:** Inflammation of the brain itself, which also causes headache, fever, and vomiting, along with potential confusion, seizures, or neurological changes. **This is also a medical emergency.**
5. **Other Viral Infections:** Many common viruses, like those causing a "stomach bug" or even a bad cold, can trigger this combination of symptoms.

### Key Takeaway
While **Ebola does cause vomiting and strong headaches**, it is an extremely rare cause unless you have recently traveled to an active outbreak area and had direct contact with an infected person.
**If you or someone you know is experiencing a strong headache and vomiting, especially if accompanied by a high fever, stiff neck, confusion, or severe weakness, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention.** A doctor can determine the actual cause and provide the correct treatment.
**Please consult a healthcare professional for any serious symptoms. Do not rely on online information for a diagnosis.**
