Now people are dying because of, but not FROM, Ebola: Two people died and at least 20 were hospitalized after they saw a social media post telling them to drink lots of salt water (which you should never, ever do) to avoid Ebola. That's a hoax -- a Nigerian student sent that out in August and people apparently took it to heart. It spread on Twitter, and while the government immediately tried to stop the hoax from spreading, it was too late for some folks. Let this be a lesson for all: Don't take medical advice from Twitter.
