If you’ve seen any type of news lately, you’ve seen that the Zika Virus is in fact in America, and it’s spreading. In fact, on May 20th, the number of pregnant women with the Zika Virus rose from 48 to a shocking 157. It’s a terrifying thought, but it is important to understand how to protect you and your loved ones.

 

The virus is spread through mosquitos, so being equipped with bug spray and citronella of any form will make a big impact. Try not to go near stagnant waters if at all possible at this time. Be sure to protect your aging loved ones, children, and yourself.
