Are you breeding? All the fuss with Zika is because this virus is associated with birth defects. For the rest of us, in these warmer areas, the mosquitos carry other things more directly hazardous like West Nile, equine encephalitis, bird flu and malaria. Biting flies carry even more interesting diseases in warm and temperate climates.
Media is all over Zika because for young people the scariest thing they can think of is deformed babies. They aren't ready to think about what can kill them (like influenza, 30,000 to 50,000 a year, without biting insects).
