Cdc-confirms-case-of-sexually-transmitted-zika-virus

Recommended Posts

Just to prevent an eventual paranoïa or panic in our industry, I went on the Internet and got educated on the Zika virus. Some of what I found is quite reassuring.

 

You will find a Wiki link at the bottom. Please note that this is ONLY for general population, and pregnant women should take serious actions to protect themselves.

 

Symptoms (last 2-3 days):

- Light fever;

- Conjunctivitis;

- Skin rash;

- Headache.

This can be compared to a VERY mild version of the Dengue fever, but nothing life threatning, or that last long - shorter than a flu, actually.

 

Also, Canada is apparently WAY too cold for the ''Tiger mosquito'' transmitting it.

 

Sure, being sick isn't fun, but no need to panic...
