Zika

Zika virus disease is a disease which is spread to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes. The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito.

Zika is endemic to parts of Africa and Asia, but over the past months, between 400,000 and 1.3 million cases have been discovered across South, Central, and North America, where the disease was previously unknown.

They are doing research on people who have the virus and doing the best they can to stop it.

This event is related to me because it is a very serious virus and it can effect me by getting me ill but it mostly affects pregnant mom and their babies. The babies have a smaller head when they are born
