BITING BACK AT ZIKA

Much of the world is freaking out over the Zika virus disease, but should we? On my recent flight back from the US I was bombarded in airports with signs about the transmission of the virus through mosquitoes. News reports seemed fewer and farther between than previous months, but just the other day an expat Facebook group here in Vietnam posted three links back-to-back on the subject. As such, I have now adopted the delightful musk of DEET as my fragrance of choice, and even carry an extra spray bottle in my purse.
