內容簡介

For several decades, Zika has been regarded as a mild disease, with no cause for alarm. But with the increasing cases of children being born with micocephaly; characterized by unusually small sized heads and or not-fully developed brains, in parts of Brazil, and even two fatal cases of deaths being registered on the American soil in February 2016, involving a male adult, though confirmed in April 2016 in Puerto Rico, and another one involving a newborn baby in Harris County, Texas, confirmed on the 9th of August 2016, there is need for every person alive today to take precautionary measures to help shield the future generations from exposure to the already confirmed life threatening effects of Zika. Over the time, Zika has continued to mutate and is no longer transmitted by only infected female aedes species mosquitoes (aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus), it is also being transmitted through unprotected sex with infected partners, and through blood, tissue or organ donations from infected donors; in the absence of properly trained health practitioners. Notably, according to CDC, more than 7,000 people within the Americas have already been diagnosed with the virus, including over 1500 in the continental U.S and Hawaii. Equally, a recent study established that over 200 million people within the Americas are currently living in areas conducive for Zika transmission Find out the origin of Zika, how it's transmitted today, why there has never been an epidemic in Uganda yet it's where the virus was first identified, and what to do to effectively protect yourself. There are endless books out there covering the same subject, but this one is specific, and with no sideshows or unnecessary deviations into other subjects. Written in plain English, this booklet carefully summarizes all the vital things you need to know on the strange virus which is causing a growing number of households sleepless nights. It further offers an effective plan of action for protection against Zika that anyone can follow even when travelling or living in a country or region with an active Zika virus transmission. And the beauty of it all is that you can read it to the end in less than an hour
