About the Zika Virus 

You've probably heard about the Zika virus in the news recently. The media coverage has been extensive due to how fast it's spreading and its alarming effects on newborns. However, just in case you've missed it, let's go over a quick recap to learn all about the Zika virus.

The Zika virus is a mosquito-transmitted disease. Most people infected with Zika won't even know they have the disease because they won't have any symptoms. However, when symptoms are present, they commonly include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). These symptoms usually last anywhere from 2 to 7 days on average.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a direct link has been confirmed between Zika virus and microcephaly in newborn babies and a rare immune system disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome. 

The CDC's latest numbers report 358 cases of Zika virus in the United States and 475 in US territories. With temperatures rising and summer just around the corner, mosquito season will soon be in full swing, and those numbers are predicted to rapidly increase. The good news is that you can be ready to control mosquitoes by developing an effective plan and using the right spray equipment.
