I had chicaunga and now had Zika last week. Did not seek medical treatment! What can they do for a illness with no prevention in place! Had Headache, Fiver, Rash, and aches all over. It now seems I'm over it. Yesterday public health came by and inspected my home and gave 3 small [Size of pidgeon eggs] bags of clorine they said I'm now protected. I asked if they were going to anything else about the problem. They said the clorine bags were all that's being done. Wonderful that they are doing that.
There were several cases of Zika infected people in Canada reported a few months ago. They contracted it when traveling to Zika infected countries. Yesterday the CBC reported the first case of Zika infection through sexual transmission. If memory serves me correctly, it was reported in Florida quite a while ago. It's in North America. How quickly it spreads remains to be seen.

I just had Zika 3 weeks ago, not as bad as the time I had chicky. I didn't go to the hospital either time for 2 reasons
1) I know how to treat it and they can't help really at all.
2) I thought I might come out with one missing leg if I went to a hospital here on the NC. I trust my nurse and dr friends way more than any Dr on the NC!
Bad rash all over my body that was really itchy yet also an uncomfortable pain, red eyes, headache, exhausted, fever, chills. Only really bad for Probably 3 days. I also had bone pains but I do get that when not feeling well or low immune since I had Chicky 2 years ago.
I did get a UTI a week later and now a kidney infection, not sure if it has anything to do with Zika??
Similar case for me. No where near as bad as chikungunya nor dengue (though chikungunya was by far the worst of any). Zika only lasted a few days and only 1 was really bad. Seems a lot of people now getting it in Cabrera though... some worse than others but none too bad. I didn't go to hospital for any either, for same reasons Harleysrock listed. No need in most cases!

MA I went to CMC yesterday bc I had a temp of over 100 achey head ache, pain all over and and other things...I am on my 3 Rd round of antibiotics for the kidney thing... Cmc did not do bloodwork only a urine sample. I will go elsewhere for blood tests I guess.
