Until they develop a vaccine, I would think that prevention would be the best route. Prevention is usually the better than the cure or post infection immunity, particularly since the long-term effects are not known. Research and choose your bug repellent and use wisely, and according to instructions. Manage those known risks, and enjoy the benefits, without locking yourself in a sterile room to avoid infection. And above all else, speak to you Health Care Professional about it, and the preventative measures they may recommend.
Cap, you say it's a day feeder. Is that ONLY in the daytime (dawn to dusk) for those mosquitoes? Or MOSTLY or USUALLY - meaning there is minimized risk dusk to dawn, as opposed to no risk?
And sunscreen then bug spray; reapply after going in the water. Got it. I'm ready!
