These Canary Islands revelers in their birthday suits sure wished they had hazmat suits.

Nudists were shocked when a group of migrants arrived on their Gran Canaria beach and described having Ebola-like symptoms, Metro.co.uk reported.

Some of the 19 migrants were from Sierra Leone and Guinea, two of the West African countries ravaged by the deadly disease. They were looking for a better future in Spain.

The migrants were kept in a pseudo-quarantine until a dump truck took them away to be processed. The startled nudists were kept at bay during the tense episode.

Four of the migrants were taken to a hospital, but none of the 19 was found to have Ebola.

The beach, Maspalomas, can only be reached by walking across sand dunes for 2 miles.

San Bartolome Mayor Marco Aurelio Perez told Spanish newspaper El Mundo that the island is an “established destination” for migrants.

“Unfortunately, illegal immigration has become a common sight in the West,” Perez said.
