Chikungunya Alert for Travelers | Sheffield News

Chikungunya’s on the rise — especially in Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh — with travelers at risk. This mosquito-borne virus causes joint pain that can linger for months, though most recover in two weeks. Carried by daytime-biting mosquitoes, it’s spreading beyond Africa and Asia into Europe and the U.S. Protect yourself: use DEET or picaridin repellent and wear loose, light-colored clothing, especially dawn to dusk. Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy your trip. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
