The Real Truth About Zika And How To Protect Yourself

Now more than ever protecting ourselves from harmful bugs and mosquitoes is imperative.

With the threat of the Zika virus inching closer and closer to the United States, we have to be careful and take the right precautions to protect ourselves and loved ones.

Mosquito bites are never enjoyable. A lot of people don’t know much about the disease but we do know it is transmitted from a certain type of mosquito. According to the CDC it is the Aedes species and they are known for being aggressive during the day but can also bite at night. It's currently affecting pregnant women and the children they carry. Zika has been found in Florida so far in the United States but is more prominent in other countries, such as Mexico.

Zika is still so new that there is much we still don’t know or understand. It is important that we protect ourselves and loved ones at all times by taking the necessary steps for preventing bug bites of any kind.
