[quote=Anonymous]I asked a friend who is an epidemiologist and she said this summer is the best time to be pregnant because there hasn't been enough time for local transmission. I am pregnant and not taking any of those precautions. I think I have been bitten 2x, which is unusual for the summer, so they are probably spraying like crazy. At this point I would be more worried about DEET affecting the fetus than somehow randomly being bitten by a mosquito who had just bitten someone with Zika. Also, keep in mind that even if you are infected, you have a 10-15% chance of passing it along to your baby. It's not 1:1. There have been cases of twins being born to an infected mother, one child has microencephaly and one doesn't. These things probably have a lot to do with immune system. Not stressing will help your health![/quote]
