Hey! Let's go get us some ZIKA! Yeah!

Spend them travel bucks!

Earthquake? Volcano? Dirty Drinking Water? Feces in food? Not to worry!

Cannibals? Snakes? Predators? Kidnappers? Terrorists? C'mon down!

Let's all abandon our cleanliness habits, our public health standards, our obsession with staying healthy and disease-free! And instead, let's feed the travel industry some of our hard-earned bucks in return for sickness, misery, but with good camera shots, or something.

Most ridiculous travel blurb I’ve ever seen But the girl is cute. However, she must be deranged to write this load. Either that or her boyfriend or family member is in the travel biz and needed her to write a plug for El Salvador, Guatamala, etc. travel.

And how many illegals has Obamala accepted from these countries under DACA/DAPA?

Well only if you bring me an Alison Krauss sweet songbird woman with a dulcimer and a banjo. I’ll lug in the bass and we’ll need a picker.

You do that and I’m packed and ready.

No. I am hallucinating my standards to a new low to see what settling might bring.

I wonder if she’s had a really enjoyable bout of Montezuma’s Revenge yet?

Get inoculated before traveling. Don’t let any visitors/immigrants from there without a good quarantine period in custody.

I liked Zima. Is it still in production?

I’m no doctor and I can’t tell you what you should or should not do concerning your own health. But if you are afraid to visit a place because of a Zika-related CDC warning, I can tell you that the risk can be worth the reward.

If her attitude is not restricted to world travel, I recommend leaving her be. The risk isn't worth the reward.

all within the span of one week. After that? Nothing

You sure about that nothing? Yeah, that's what they thought about Ebola only it lives on inside you for months and can pop back up years later.

She is kinda pudgy in that department, doncha think?

I kinda feel sorry for her and all. She's probably a Clinton supporter. If that is the case, Darwin is our friend.

-—The worst effect I experienced was the multitude of people who asked me if I was OK in a tone of voice that said “yeah, you’re probably going to die.” No matter how many times I asserted that I was fine, I was always met with “puppy eyes” and disbelief. These people had been convinced by the intentionally terrifying images and stories all over the media that Zika was a horrific, life-changing disease-—

She makes a good point in a rather vacuous article...

The government loves to try to scare the crap out of people with PSA’s

I’m sure people remember how the fear-mongering over how anyone can get infected with HIV...

Which is completely untrue unless you exchanged body fluids...

Chicken pox too (herpes zoster).

Yeah, I was thinking that too, that it can hide out and be dormant like shingles. Hate to see what it might do later in life.
