By now you've probably seen at least a handful of sensational headlines about the Zika virus, which was recently declared a by the World Health Organization.
Perhaps, like me, all you've picked up is that it can spread through mosquito bites or and it may cause babies to be born with .
But is there really cause for the average Canadian to be concerned?

[h=2]Symptoms[/h]
- About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika virus become ill (i.e., develop Zika).
- The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) for Zika virus disease is not known, but is likely to be a few days to a week.
- The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week.
- Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for a few days but it can be found longer in some people.
- Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon.
- Deaths are rare.

More than 100 leading scientists say the Rio Olympics should be moved or postponed over the Zika outbreak.

This should scare you.

- Baby born with Zika-linked microcephaly in New Jersey doctors confirmed
- Mother, 31, contracted virus while in Honduras and traveled to New Jersey to visit family and seek treatment 33 days ago
- She was admitted to Hackensack University Medical Center where she gave birth to a baby girl on Tuesday who has intestinal and visual complications
- The mother said her initial symptoms, a rash and fever, were 'underestimated' by medical doctors in Honduras
- She thinks she may have contracted Zika from a mosquito bite
- It's estimated to cost at least $1million to treat a baby with Zika
- According to CDC, 346 travel-related cases have been reported in 41 states

Latest news.
The Zika virus is the primary suspect in the large increase in microcephaly cases in 2015-6 in Brazil, however its role is unconfirmed despite individual cases of viral infections found in neural tissue. Here we consider the alternative that the insecticide pyriproxyfen, used in Brazilian drinking water for mosquito control, may actually be the cause.
Pyriproxifen is an analog of juvenile hormone, which corresponds in mammals to regulatory molecules including retinoic acid, a vitamin A metabolite, with which it has cross-reactivity and whose application during development causes microcephaly. Methoprene, another juvenile hormone analog approved as an insecticide has metabolites that bind to the retinoid X receptor, and causes developmental disorders in mammals. Isotretinoin is another example of a retinoid causing microcephaly in human babies via activation of the retinoid X receptor.
Moreover, tests of pyriproxyfen by the manufacturer, Sumitomo, widely quoted as giving no evidence for developmental toxicity, actually found some evidence for such an effect, including low brain mass and arhinencephaly—incomplete formation of the anterior cerebral hemispheres—in rat pups. Finally, the pyriproxyfen use in Brazil is unprecedented—it has never before been applied to a water supply on such a scale.
Claims that it is not being used in Recife, the epicenter of microcephaly cases, do not distinguish the metropolitan area of Recife, where it is widely used, and the municipality, where it is not. Given this combination of information we strongly recommend that the use of pyriproxyfen in Brazil be suspended pending further investigation.

More mosquito fucking, Prim0.
The Salt Lake County health department in Utah said on Friday that an elderly resident who had been infected with the Zika virus while traveling to an area with active transmission of the virus died late last month.
The exact cause of death is not known, the health department said in a press release.
The resident had an undisclosed health condition and had tested positive for the Zika virus. County health officials said it may not be possible to determine how or whether the Zika infection contributed to the person's death.
The resident was not identified. Officials of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could not immediately confirm that the death was related to Zika.
