Effects on Newborns
As an adult or even a child, the effects of Zika are generally not very harmful. However, it can have serious impacts on children who are still in the womb. Because of this, pregnant women are warned to stay away from mosquito bites as best as possible. The mosquitoes that carry this virus are found in hot, humid, and typically southern regions of the globe, so the mosquitoes likely won't die out anytime soon.
