Guess caution is now in order if you see someone who has recently traveled from the affected regions. Bummer for those of us who enjoy Latinas.

for links to Guillain-Barré Syndrome & temporary / lasting paralisys. It is a dangerous infection. Primary infection is through mosquitos but seems to be possible STD. The concern is primarily male to female sexual transmission since it is a devistating disease for the fetus.
Also, it is only carried by a specific breed of mosquito, not all of them
And those mosquitos generally don't appear in the northern US.
