[Travelandtourism] {Spam?} RE: Zika Virus - Should you be afraid of travelingand how you should be protected - Long Email

[Cheryl Echevarria]

Zika is not only in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean! It is
in the lower 48 states like FL, etc. 

You also have to worry about mosquitoes not necessary those with Zika Virus,
but also West Nile Virus here in the USA, which can affect anyone. 

Even where you live!

Best thing to do after it rains, get rid of things outside your home where
water is lying like in:

Buckets, maybe dishes and cups left outside, any place you can think of that
has water in a contained area. If you have a pool, make sure the Chlorine is
at the correct levels, even dump out the water from the kiddie blow up pools
you may have.

So, again, if you are pregnant or at the age when you can get pregnant and
have an active love life, then do not go to those locations and we cannot
recommend birth control, but you should in some way of protecting yourself.

Or any age you can get West Nile Virus, that affects everyone here in the
USA. I am sure, many have heard about this disease here in the USA.

There are ways to protect yourself when traveling, since the beginning of
time, there have been issues, but life is too short.

Especially, since especially we are blind, we want to get out there and
explore the world, where ever that maybe.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Dear, Cheryl,
I appologize for responding to this message a month late, but I appreciate
the information which was posted.
I plan on hanging on to this message as a good reminder to be careful.
Since this virus has been a hot topic since last month impacting humans, I
also question on how those who work with service dogs can keep their working
partners protected from this virus.
Although I don't plan on traveling to areas are you've mentioned, I still f
it ind important for when I should get my next service dog.
Bibi and retired/former
MAR/guide dog son Odie
who will be thirteen years old
later this year
