Zika Virus a Harm in the U.S?

In the past, nobody really new what the Zika virus is or that it even existed. This virus is spread through mosquitos, it is most known to have cases in northern Brazil, where there was mild symptoms like headaches and fever. None of the doctors really worried until they have started to notice that there was thousands of birth defects on the babies like limited brain development and small craniums because of the virus. There has been some cases in the southern United States, but the effects aren’t as bad as the cases in Brazil. For precautions there has been lab test in test in Galveston, Texas where they use sheep blood for the mosquitoes to feed on. This is a very good idea because we must all take precautions so our future generation of generations don’t have a birth defect due to the Zika virus.
