Health officials say a person in Texas has become infected with the Zika virus through sex, in the first case of the illness being transmitted within the United States amid the current outbreak in Latin America.

The virus, which has been linked to birth defects in the Americas, is primarily spread through mosquito bites, but investigators had been exploring the possibility it could be sexually transmitted. There was a report of a Colorado researcher who picked up the virus in Africa and apparently spread it to his wife back home in 2008, and it was found in one man's ****** in Tahiti

Just Remembered - BATS, bats are mosquito eaters.  Put up a bat house and don't bother the bats - let them do their thing.  They naturally control mosquitos.

You're going to need a 20' pole for that bat house and not in a busy area of suburbia.

Well at least I have tons of bats around.  They sometimes swoop a little too low at dusk and it creeps me out.
