i hate to pop ya bubble,

TODAY
'bout 30-minutes ago
on PBS-radio
an *expert* @ a Minnesota university
chat 'bout ANOTHER issue with Zika:::::>>> in brief::::>>>> 'twill mash-up nerves, and cause paralysis .... possibly to the extent where it stop one's ability to breath.

no hard evidence, yet
...... but *experts* are VERY concerned :::: busy busy doing studies & research

UGHH! I guess we'll have to keep a closer eye on this! More reading to do for me. That and bathe morning noon an night in repellent.

No need for all that..!!..

lol
lol

lemme share some of ''..my-thoughts..'' on this thing

if staying at a good-resort/property, the owner/operators are probably doing whatever they need to do to manage these critters

oh
oh
oh:::::::::::::>>>>>> the UP-side 'bout this particular mosquito:::::>>>> it DOES NOT travel far from it's *home* ..... dunno the exact distances,,,, for example, other mosquitos might fly from negril to mobay, but this Zika-mosquito will stay within a couple city-blocks of where it hatches


continue-ing....

moving about during the day
I wouldn't worry too much

but
as soon as that sun starts to creep toward the horizon
i would be splashing on repellent
AND
covering up
EVERY bit of exposed skin

if i was out and about
at night
and felt ONE 'squito nibble,
i'd RUN away
...leave that location
and
go to another bar, venue, where-ever

me-SAY:::>> ''''..WHEN in-Rome ...... do like the Romans....''

or

as the song-SAY:::>>>if/when in Egypt:::>>> '''' .... walk like an Egyptian ....... la la la la la la...'''


so,
do this, when in-Jamaica/Negril::::>>> at night
look around

what are the residence wear-ing...???..
....dem wear long-pants, and long sleeves, na tru

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
an exception, *might* be the ''..working ladies..''
....but they get ''..hazardous-duty..'' pay

I'm no Zika expert but assuming the expert I saw on CBC news knows his stuff, he advised that these mosquitos are active and biting during the day only. His point being, use repellant during the day and don't worry about netting at night.

Can anyone confirm or deny this with any certainty?

This is the conventional wisdom, and is true with dengue and chik-v. Scientists in Brazil have all but confirmed that zik-v has crossed the species barrier into common mosquitos that bite 24/7, not just the aedes aegypti. Things are looking to get pretty hairy this summer...
