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?

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’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.

-—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...

Re: If you and your partner are not looking to get pregnant in the near future, the Zika virus generally need not be feared.

What are the stats on unplanned pregnancies in this country? The annual abortion rate gives us a glimpse of this number. Approximately 700,000 babies slaughtered in their mothers’ wombs each year because they were inconvenient and not intended. How many more pregnancies are unintended? But this narcissist says, don't worry about getting pregnant and contacting the Zika virus. As long as you don't plan to conceive you are good to go.

If I hadn’t traveled I’d never have had crabs from Thailand, clap from Saigon and a shiv from Angeles City. AHH, the thrill of the multicultural exchange.

Question: Can a human spread zika to mosquitos back home? You get bit by zika mosquito, you go home, you get sick but have been bit by mosquitos at home. The home mosquitos bite your pregnant neighbor and hurt her baby. Is that possible?

Venezuela is a great place to vacation, with 17 dollar a day all-inclusive tours. They have rivers with pink dolphins. They have Angel Falls. And you would have the entire country almost to yourselves since tourism has dropped by 80 percent since the socialists took over.

And it is cheap, cheaper than Nicaragua and Haiti, the two poorest countries in the Americas. You can get a hotel room for $5 a night and eat a great meal for $3, tips and beer included. You can fly around the country for between $7 to $20.

If you can live through the flu, you can easily live through Zika.

Anyone who minimizes real Influenza has never actually had it. The minor upper respiratory tract infections that people call flu are not flu.

Her spray of 99% DEET would have killed me, not sure about Zika would do.
