I'll take a quick look at my history and see if I can find it, just read it a couple days ago.

A very superficial check on SKY NEWS will question their credibility (and thats being kind). To be certain, they lack awards for journalistic integrity. To be honest and candid I call bull duram (kept deleting excrement). False fear mongering (intended or not) doesn't serve our best interests.
There is a pretty strong argument that this whole Zika scare is yet another "be afraid" ......... "we will save you" campaign and the mainstream media loves sensationalism (it sells).
Just saying

I certainly respect that Booger. I will also be using repellent and maybe other stuff in a well ventilated OUTDOOR environment. But people are actually talking about and WILL use noxious chemicals directly on the skin or cloths or inhale it in an INDOOR environment to avoid this supposed danger. Gotta ask yourself some serious questions before doing that.
BTW - I live in mosquito heaven (or hell). So I know a bit about combating these pests. Anything that kills them dead on the spot, is a clue ..... a BIG clue that it's likely not good of you either.
Again, no disrespect to anyone.
One Love

Hardly a ringing endorsement but IF confirmed, will certainly be a very major development and difficult to control.Scientists in Brazil believe the devastating Zika virus may have already crossed over to the common mosquito, dramatically increasing the risk of it spreading worldwide. .....
There are suspicions the mosquito-borne virus is linked to more than 4,000 babies with brain deformities in South America's largest country. .....
Up until now, it was thought the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is confined to the tropics, was solely spreading the virus. .....
But scientists at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Recife, Pernambuco State, in the northeast of the country, believe otherwise.
They say they are as little as a month away from confirming that the virus is also being carried and transmitted by the much more common Culex mosquito. (((((Which, I guess, implies that in as little as a month they might not be able to confirm it))))))))
The lead research scientist at the foundation, Constancia Ayres, told Sky News that IF her suspicions are confirmed, the implications are huge.
