Hope all are taking precautions to avoid viral exposure. The office is still open with some adjustments. Visit our website for more information, messaging options, and appointments scheduling. We are working on implementing remote visits so that people who don’t have to be physically in office can be seen via video / audio. Hopefully this will be operational next week. Take time to read the link below from CDC for basic but vital information on COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China.

Zika Virus

The virus spreads to humans primarily through infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, however, it can also be transmitted sexually from an infected man to his sexual partners. Once a person is infected, it may 3–14 days to show symptoms. Symptoms of the disease are nonspecific but may include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis. Some people may not show any symptoms and most of these will have mild symptoms.
Research continue to show that pregnancy exposed to zika virus may experience pregnancy loss, microcephaly, and other brain and eye abnormalities. Transmission of Zika to the fetus has been documented in all trimesters

Prevention (CDC /ACOG recommendations):

Avoiding exposure is best. When possible, pregnant women should delay travel to areas where Zika outbreaks are ongoing.

Women considering pregnancy should discuss with their obstetric providers the advisability of travel. See the CDC and PAHO web sites for updated lists of affected countries and states. At this time, this travel warning pertains only to areas where local transmission of ZIKV is reported.

When traveling to areas where Zika has been reported, women should take all precautions to avoid mosquito bites including the use of EPA-approved bug spray with DEET, covering exposed skin, staying in air-conditioned or screened-in areas, and treating clothing with permethrin.

When used as directed on the product label, EPA-registered insect repellents, particularly those with DEET and permethrin, can be used safely during pregnancy.

These protective measures should be followed both day and night as the Aedes aegypti mosquito (which carries ZIKV) bites primarily during the day as well as at dusk and dawn. Reapplication of insect repellant should be practiced as directed on the product label.
