New Disease Alert "Zika Virus" transmitted by mosquitos and Sex!

[BushMasterBoy]

An new virus emerging that is described rapidly mutating. A scientist from Colorado was bitten in Africa and gave his wife the disease too. Worse part is can morph into Guillain-Barre syndrome. I guess we now hope CDC can come up with a vaccine...

Excerpted from link...


"The first suggestion that you can get Zika both from a mosquito and from your lover came in 2008, when an American scientist contracted Zika in Senegal and fell ill a few days after returning home to northern Colorado. Soon after, his wife also got Zika, even though she hadn’t traveled anywhere far for months. Research published this year puts more weight on the suspicion that Zika is sexually transmitted: The virus has been found in semen."

If you get bit by a mosquito that has the virus, you can pass it on to your wife through sex. Read the article! Better yet, let your wife read it...

I told her I got it by sitting on a toilet seat!!!!

Is it only transferable to your own wife? That seems rather selective...

[GilpinGuy]

I guess Senegal is off our vacation wish list. Dang it.

Hard to believe the virus could survive in all that stomach acid.

Oh, wait, the guy was married? That explains it.

From the article:

While Zika is usually mild, it can morph into Guillain-Barré syndrome

In a couple of locations where there had been outbreaks, they’ve noticed an increase in an incidence of Guillain-Barré immediately afterwards.

Research published this year puts more weight on the suspicion that Zika is sexually transmitted
Sure is lacking in any hard facts for the "new" 70 year old mild flu like virus.

You guys are missing the point of the article.. global warming is to blame.

This just in, quartley humping by married couples contributes to overall global temperature rise; environmental scientists asking married couples to "cool it."
