AKRON, Ohio -- Peter Pattakos spent 20 minutes Saturday in an Akron bridal shop, getting fitted for a tux for his friend's wedding. Thursday, his friend sent a text message, telling him that Ebola patient Amber Joy Vinson had been in the store around the same time.

"I thought, 'Oh, that's interesting,'" Pattakos said in a telephone interview Friday.

Summit County Public Health is asking people who visited Coming Attractions Bridal and Formal, on East Tallmadge Avenue, from noon to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, to contact the health department at 330-926-3939. The store was closed Thursday because of concerns about Ebola.

Pattakos, 36, a Cleveland attorney who lives in Bath Township, called the health department, which told him to call back if he exhibits any Ebola symptoms. He called a doctor, who told him not to worry.

"I didn't exchange any bodily fluids with anyone, so I'm not worried about it," he said. "I'm much more likely to be mistakenly killed by a police officer in this country than to be killed by Ebola, even if you were in the same bridal shop."

Vinson, a nurse at a Dallas hospital, treated Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who later died. A Firestone High School and Kent State University graduate, she spent last weekend with family in Tallmadge planning her wedding.

Vinson tested positive for Ebola on Tuesday, after returning to Dallas, but may have had symptoms as early as Oct. 10, the day she flew Frontier Airlines to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Officials are contacting passengers on that flight and her Monday flight back to Dallas.

Concerns over the deadly disease, which is spread through infected bodily fluids, have led to business, government and school closings throughout Cleveland and Akron.

Pattakos thinks people are overreacting, and he blames wall-to-wall media coverage. He hopes Vinson recovers soon.

"I wish people would freak out this much about climate change," he said. "It's one of those problems that's real easy for the media to cover, rather than some of those other problems that people should be more concerned with."
