How difficult is it to return home and resume "regular" life after an extensive stay in certain war torn areas?

Thanks for the reply, Jane! The importance of what you guys do is invaluable, keep up the great work.

I'm a little late to the party, but hopefully you can answer this. I'm currently reading "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston. Now, I know it was written back in the mid 90's so I'm curious to how much of the information has changed since then. There are large sections of the book that deal with the possibility of Ebola being an airborne virus, that can be transferred from one animal to another without contact. I'm assuming this belief has changed. Also, the book mentions that the virus can survive on a plane for 24 hours without any hosts on board. Am I reading something factual? or has this become more of a an entertaining thriller to read that isn't quite factually acurate? Thanks Ben!

Thanks for the answer, Ben! It's definitely an eye opener for someone like myself who didn't know very much about the virus. I recommend it, scared the shit out of me!
