cruiser1323 Posted December 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Has anyone heard of any Zika concerns in Cozumel? I know there have been warnings for some parts of Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarimaJ Posted December 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I didn't see one mosquito in Cozumel. But I did get one bite in Costa Maya at the water park. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted December 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Zika is EVERYWHERE in the Caribbean, every island, Central America, and South America. Mosquitos are the issue. Use Deet. The only way to truly avoid it is to stay locked up inside your house in a plastic bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZalumni Posted January 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2017 CDC updates there map on a regular basis: https://www.cdc.gov/zika/geo/active-countries.html Right now all of the US (lower 48) and all of Mexico are included in the Zika areas. CDC Mexico Zika map - https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/alert/zika-virus-mexico Zika has been around since 1950, personally I don't get why it's suddenly an issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zika_virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatyCake Posted January 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 3, 2017 We have had several cases but it is not wide spread. Miami it seems is the place to avoid. Be sure to use protection and you should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
