The 'sexy Ebola containment suit' is on sale online Websites and bars appear to be cashing in on the Ebola crisis by selling costumes for Halloween, mocked up to look like a containment suit being worn by volunteers risking their own lives to treat people infected with the deadly disease. The costume - which is available in a male and female version - has appeared on the brands on sale website. A description of the suit says: 'As the deadly Ebola virus trickles its way through the United States, fighting its disease is no reason to compromise style.' The costume has gone on sale as flyers have been released advertising a 'Saturday Night Ebola Fever' Halloween event in London. Last night the WHO confirmed the number of people who had been infected with the disease had reached 10,000. Almost 5,000 people have so far died of Ebola, most from Africa and the WHO estimates the figure could be higher due to under reporting in Africa. The costumes, which are being sold for $59.99 (£37) come complete with a white costume dress, face shield, breathing mask, safety eye goggles and blue gloves. The site sells the lace up yellow boots separately for $79.99 (£49). The description adds: 'The short dress and chic gas mask will be the talk of Milan, London, Paris, and New York as the world's fashionistas seek global solutions to hazmat couture.' |
