As the guys have said it can be passed through human contact or through the contact of bodily fluids and causes alot of pain and suffering too. Hopefully we can find a cure for it soon.
I think bleeding from membranes is caused by clotting disorders related to the effect of the infection on platelets. Dehydration may increase clotting but the reduction in blood volume would not tend to cause haemorrhagic disease
