The dreaded Zika virus has hit close to home. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta confirmed the first case of Zika infection in Georgia, the AJC reports.
The case involves an unnamed individual who traveled to Colombia between December and January.
The individual has recovered fully and is not infectious, the AJC reports.
Earlier today, the CDC confirmed the mosquito-borne Zika virus can be sexually transmitted.
In the statement to CNN, the CDC confirmed Zika was present in the blood of a “nontraveler” in the Dallas, Texas area.
The Zika virus causes no symptoms in 80% of those infected. But in 20% of the cases the symptoms include whole body rash, fever, headache, fatigue, chills, sweating and joint pain.
The virus causes birth defects in babies who are born with abnormally small heads.
I hope that child gets some kind of payment every time his pic is used with the word Zika …
It will come and go…Like Ebola…Like herpes flare ups…Like my Daddy…Trumps hairline?
I was thinking, gosh we’re still in this post… heyull this is a new post on the same thing.

Immigration conversation in 5….4….3….2…

Doubt it was immigration…people travel all over the world. Hell a lady in my class came from CO to TX and has been ridiculously allergenic since she’s been here. Told her she has the T virus…
+1000
Or yo momma
Speaking of Trump did u see how ashamed he was when he realized he lost in Iowa ?????? then went on a rant trying to blame the media or some crap no sir you wanna act like you already president and skip debates like you da man n chit that’s what you get . Ok bye
Another post on the same thing ??
Lmao
Sandra, can you please give us another post for the evening so we don’t have to look at Baby Zikariah up there until tomorrow morning? TIA.
I feel ya though
It’s not the same thing. Stop being unappreciative.
Just read online that Brazil has strict abortion laws so if you find your child has microcephaly or other conditions due to the virus, you will not be able to legally terminate if that’s what you want.
*walks back outta post*
Wow. That’s tough. Blessings to those mamas and babies.
Lmao ?
It’s going to be a scary summer! The Zika virus also poses health risks for men. Men who contract the virus could develop guillain barre syndrome.
Just kill all the squitos dammit. The zikas, the west niles, just Kill em all hell.
Brasil has not confirmed for certain that the Ziks virus is 100% responsible for microcephaly. Just putting that out there. 1) the virus has been present there for almost a decade. 2) because the symptoms aren’t fatal (as far as they knew), they did not take it seriously. 3) they don’t have an accurate number of how many real cases of Zika there are there. And they are still trying to confirm if Zika alone is responsible for the birth defects.
Exactly ,so stay out them bath houses …
This isn’t the first case! The first case was back in 2009 and it was a man
Yes! A mess. A damn joke…That’s gone way too far?
Interesting…
Thanks for your concern, but I haven’t been to a bathhouse in more than twenty years. ?
??.
No problem.
NEW POST – Chyna and Rob
Lol yes. They are JUST now getting labs to test people. I think the last I read they only had 10 working labs with the correct equipment. They now have twenty something I believe. They are telling hospitals to report anyone showing symptoms of the Zika Virus to the federal disease control there.
Lol I’m going to Central America in March so I was doing a lot of research smh. The birth defect isn’t the scariest symptom. They reported (Brasil) that there were cases of temporary deafness, vertigo, and dizzy spells that lasted about one to two weeks. Also the same mosquito which carries this virus carried dengue.
Thank you, Auntie!
The republican party said they had enough of this b.s. They will not let Trump be the nominee for president no matter what
Let’s hope so. I love it when thine enemies are divided??
The way he addressed them folks his voice was so flat I could tell his mouth was dry from embarrassment lmao
What???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh heck no!!!!!!!!! First the Ebola, now tis mess.
I would love to read about those experiences… living near San Francisco I have always heard some interesting stories. ?
I’ve seen everything from a senior citizen being fisted in a sling to a midget getting dogged out on a dirty mattress. It was quite an education.
I swear this Zika virus is lab created population control. At least China is forthright with their population control. Everywhere else creates a disease and this Zika is taking things too far hurting newborn babies. It’s all politics and economics.
Xactly
Poor thang.
Mosquito bites in the southern US and the tropics give US west coasters and US northerners wounds like a flesh eating disease. Allergies to insects from different regions is real. keep in mind people do die from spider bites and bee stings they are not accustomed to. Bug spray is an essential. The whole thing is scary.
Yep.
Yea I’ve lived all over. Didn’t start getting bit until I moved to AZ. The bites are pretty big and wake me up in the night with the itching. I’m like wth.
Must be election time again .. You notice how some strange deadly virus or sickness always comes around then as soon as the election is over you never hear about them again ??
And just like the Ebola the media is going to cause a stir and then have this Zika virus completely vanished from the media suddenly all together. If they talking about this chit, I wonder what they’re trying to distract of from.
U no I just noticed most of the food sold in our grocery stores come from china. Wonder if that’s a good idea to eat food made from so far away
