Is anyone else paranoid about the zika virus that causes birth defects on pregnant woman? i was reading about it and now i am all paranoid about it/: sigh* i live in California idk how high the risk is. I got a few weird bites but i suspect its just a bed bug bite (cause neighbors have some)but they turned weird looking and dry. After a week. Theyre itchy if i scrach..I have other small ones on my arms and stomach. My sister got bitten too.
