This summer, it’s more important than ever to protect yourself and your family from summertime pests like mosquitos. While a mosquito bite may seem like no big deal, mosquitos are notoriously effective at spreading disease, and could easily transfer that disease to you through that little bug bite. This year, there is a lot of concern about the Zika virus. Back in February, the World Health Organization declared the Zika outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” Zika virus disease has fairly mild symptoms for most people, like fever, joint pain, and irritated eyes. However, Zika can cause severe birth defects if contracted by pregnant women, which makes this virus a significant cause for concern. (For additional information about Zika virus disease, visit the CDC’s Zika virus website.)
