Told my husband if I get pregnant during skeeter season that I will be bathing in DEET and staying inside. That is honestly some scary and serious shite.

In fact, 80% of those infected never know they have the disease. That's especially concerning for pregnant women, as this virus has now been shown to pass through amniotic fluid to the growing baby.


So 80% don't have symptoms but can transmit it, through sex or being outside and having a mosquito bite you, and then go on to bite others.
