Grass_Hopper 18263 Report post Posted February 3, 2016 Just to prevent an eventual paranoïa or panic in our industry, I went on the Internet and got educated on the Zika virus. Some of what I found is quite reassuring. You will find a Wiki link at the bottom. Please note that this is ONLY for general population, and pregnant women should take serious actions to protect themselves. Symptoms (last 2-3 days): - Light fever; - Conjunctivitis; - Skin rash; - Headache. This can be compared to a VERY mild version of the Dengue fever, but nothing life threatning, or that last long - shorter than a flu, actually. Also, Canada is apparently WAY too cold for the ''Tiger mosquito'' transmitting it. Sure, being sick isn't fun, but no need to panic... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zika_virus 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
