The only thing I have seen hard data on (regarding sexual transmission) is that scientists have isolated the virus in semen. They have not shown that it can be transmitted through sex, but it would seem logically possible.

Thanks for the update Rob and Smith.
The first case of Zika Virus was reported this week in Portmore.
Interestingly - he had just come home from a visit to Texas.

Just a side comment, we have been using the "OFF" product that is orange scented, has worked very well, might be better for people who do not like to wear or smell of harsh bug sprays.....also nicer for kids. Might encourage more people to protect, even use all day.
When using the permethrin spray, it's very, very important to let your clothing/gear completely dry before wearing/using it. Can't stress that enough. You can also wash it into your clothes/gear and it lasts for weeks. I use it on my camping/backpacking gear, it kills them dead on contact, but follow the directions exactly to the letter. Otherwise it's pretty toxic stuff.
