One US company has had a unique response to escalating fears about the Ebola crisis - they think it would make a great idea for a Halloween costume.
The Ebola Containment Suit Costume is on sale for $US79.99 at the brandsonSale website.
It includes a breathing mask, safety goggles, blue latex gloves, a face shield and an "Ebola white costume suit".
However, revellers have to supply their own boots.
The site's blurb claims the costume will be the most "viral" outfit of the year.
"The deadly Ebola virus has landed in the United States and the crisis has reached new levels of domestic escalation," the site reads.
"You are sure to be prepared if any outbreak happens at your Halloween party."
However, healthcare professionals and Twitter users have criticised the move, News Corp reports.
But brandsonSale CEO Jonathon Weeks was unrepentant.
In fact, he claimed to have a “toddler ISIS” costume also about to come out.
