The most effective way to protect yourself from the Zika virus is to
prevent mosquito bites
By Kelsey Kloss
Many Americans are relatively protected from the Zika virus at the moment
because mosquitoes die or go into hibernation in cold winter weather. When
temperatures rise to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit, however, mosquitoes can
reappear and spread disease. The Aedes mosquitos feed during the day and fly
into houses for shade — living and reproducing very close to people. Just one
tablespoon of water can serve as a mosquito breeding ground and produce up
to 300 mosquitoes. The insects can breed in the bottom of a glass in the
bathroom (like one you use to brush your teeth with) or in a film of water next to
the sink. Eliminate standing water throughout the home, including in flower pots,
bottles, and accumulating garbage.
Have a pool? No need to drain — mosquitos are deterred by the chlorine that
keeps the pool clean and safe for swimming.
