From the text:
Years later, McCormick told me that he would never forget the sight. The first thing he saw was a number of red eyes staring at him. The air inside the hut reeked of blood. People lay on straw mats on the floor. Some were having convulsions— the final phase, as death sets in— their bodies rigid and jerking, their eyes rolled up into the head, blood streaming out of the nose and flooding from the rectum. Others had gone into terminal comas, and were motionless and bleeding out. The hut was a hot zone.Source(s)
