And you have with you your can of bug spray.  Do you feel safe?

Some women are wearing long sleeves and covering up as much as possible.

But Zikes can be spread through sexual transmission.

Maybe that woman’s partner got a few mosquito bites.  It is not until the second trimester that genetic testing may be done.

So much happens during a  woman’s pregnancy. A lot of genetic testing is not done until around week 20 — when a woman is already showing and already “nesting”.

What to do when the genetic testing news is not good?

As of August 19, 2016 the spread of Zika virus by mosquitos may be more widespread than Miami officials had thought.  Tourism may take a hit if this is the case.  It was thought that the mosquitoes transmitting the virus were limited to one small community north of downtown Miami

Now, 10 of a total of 35 Zika cases reported to date in Miami have no connection to the designated zone in Wynwood.

One man sitting on the Miami beech with his child and wife says that he has his bug spray can to keep him safe.  Follow the Zika story at BrooklynMama.com
