Protect Yourself From ZIKA

WHAT IS ZIKA?
The Zika virus is spread through the bite of certain types of mosquitoes. While it can cause fever rash, joint pain, and red or pink eyes, about 80% of people with ZIKA do not become ill or have symptoms. Zika also can be spread through blood transfusions and sexual contact.

SHOULD YOU WORRY?
The ZIKA virus can also be spread from mother to child, if the mother is infected with the ZIKA virus during pregnancy. The ZIKA virus has been linked to birth defects such as microcephaly, condition where the baby's head is much smaller than expected and can cause developmental delays.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PREVENT ZIKA?
  • Apply EPA-approved insect repellent
  • Wear pants and long sleeve shirts that cover exposed skin
  • Keep windows and doors closed at your home to keep mosquitoes out
  • Remove standing water in and around your home
  • Cover trash cans and other containers where water can collect
  • TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS OR THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE ZIKA
