10 Zika Virus Symptoms

Symptom #10: No Symptoms!
One of the most interesting things about the Zika virus is that only a few of the people who are bitten by the mosquito and contract the virus actually display symptoms. This facilitates the continued transmission of the virus to other vectors, and therefore to other individuals.
Only about 1 in 4 people infected with the virus have any symptoms at all. If you’re pregnant then it’s important to make sure you get checked, specially if you’re traveling through an area where Zika can be contracted. Remember that this disease can be transmitted to unborn children and cause congenital Zika virus infection.
