Dangers of the Zika virus in Brazil rehashed.

Did you know that there is an epidemic of the Zika virus spreading around in Brazil? 1 out of every 50 children born in Brazil today are born with the Zika virus. The Zika virus is from the airborne Zika mosquito and can be sexually transmitted. The Zika virus is like the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.

In 2015, the occurrence of Zika virus was 20 times higher than usual. Although less than 1% of infants in Brazil are born with microcephaly, the chances of them getting the Zika virus are much higher than average compared to other countries. United Nations (UN) had begged all tropical countries along the equator to make abortion legal for medical defects.

This whole Zika virus thing is scary. It remains unsafe to conceive babies for a few months after you recover from the Zika virus. Signs of contracting Zika virus are vomiting and frequent seizures. The other signs include small heads and small brains. One way to get rid of the Zika virus is to kill the kill Zika mosquitoes or insects carrying the virus in order to prevent the Zika virus. Another way is by teaching dangers of Zika virus through sexual education. Brazil is attempting to kill Zika mosquitoes in order to prevent the Zika virus from happening.
