Zika in Troncones?

I know Dengue and Chikungunya are widespread-- what about Zika? Unless you're pregnant or trying to become pregnant, you don't have much need to go to the clinic and check if that funny rash/flu was caused by Zika, correct? Now that we are thru the rainiest part of the year, have cases of Zika been going up?

What ever happened to Will Mertz's mosquito project/job with the tires he fund raised for here?

Are these ovillantas available for purchase? If so, where? I'd like to get a couple to put in our yard in Zihua.

good to hear--only ZihuaRob on Aug 23 said "Lots of folks here have had [zika]. An annoying rash in most cases with bloodshot eyes. Like any bug it'll run its course ... Government figures are way off because most folks won't bother going to government clinics. " What do you make of the idea that most people aren't going to clinics bc it's not that serious, unless you are embarazada (or trying?)

I agree with Rob. I had it earlier in the year, along with a few neighbors.
I'm located in Dario Galeana.

That's good. Don't want it. Reports of it being up on the hill on La Ropa. Keeping fingers and toes crossed.
