You must be wealthy Smith. All those different kinds of bug juice, some of them never even opened.

Looking forward to your trip reports. Please do some video walks for us. Thinking about you as we passed the Lucea "Veranda" coming in and going out. I see they replaced that big Euclid tyre road divider with a cement divider. Maybe they did that years ago; but I noticed it earlier this month.

Deet on any exposed skin, and permethrin on clothing and gear. Deet strength depends where I am, and what I'm doing. If I'm going up the the UP in summer, it's 100% deet every time. Just depends how bad the skeeters are wherever I am, but in general I'll go with the lowest concentration that does the job.
Side note about 100% deet; do not get it on anything nylon, it will melt it.
I received an email from the US Embassy in Kingston today (because I registered with their STEP program) advising "The U.S. Embassy in Kingston informs U.S. citizens that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has upgraded its advisories regarding the Zika Virus. Local health authorities have also confirmed the presence of Zika virus in Jamaica. The full advisory can be found at http://moh.gov.jm/jamaica-confirms-f...he-zika-virus/.
For general information about Zika, please visit the CDC website. To obtain CDC travel notices, call the CDC at 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) from within the United States, or 1-404-639-3534 from overseas or visit the CDC website."
The CDC page basically says what you all have already been saying here- a child in Jamaica began showing symptoms of being infected after traveling to Texas. I'm loading up on bug juice for our trip next week!
You'll likely be fine, BaileysMom. It'll take some time for it to start working its way around the island, but by summer... use your bug juice people. Some of the new info coming out about Zika is pretty worrying. I realize it has been around for decades, but once it starts hitting this side of the globe the scientific community puts more effort into studying the disease. I'm not so sure that ChickV is worse (leaving aside the horrifying birth defects).
We are arriving June 22 and stay through July 8-Summer time! Will be traveling with a 12 year old a 20 year old and myself. None of us are pregnant, nor will we be at the time of travel. I understood the Zika virus to be most detrimental to those pregnant. Will be bringing plenty of bug juice! ARH!
