An online campaign is calling for the dog of a Spanish nurse with Ebola not to be put down. The woman, reported to be Teresa Romero Ramos, is the first person known to have contracted the virus outside Africa in the current outbreak.

Spanish authorities say her pet, called Excalibur, will be killed because "available scientific information" can't rule out it spreading the virus. But campaigners say there's not enough evidence to support killing the animal.

The virus would have likely gained access via eyes, nose and/or mouth not through the skin on her face.

It's easy to do...you walk out of the room and are taking off all this garb, your nose itches....
