BigGovernment:Lost in much of the media coverage of new domestic cases of chikungunya, a painful and sometimes debilitating mosquito-borne virus, is that Mexico has been experiencing an alarming rise in infections that could potentially spread across the porous border. And there is already evidence of at least one case arriving from Mexico.

In May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added Mexico to the “Watch Level 1” category for the disease. Last week, the CDC updated their “Level 1” warning, advising travelers to Mexico to “protect themselves from chikungunya by preventing mosquito bites.”

Local transmission began in Mexico in October 2014, with 155 cases confirmed before the end of the year. The numbers skyrocketed this year, with 9,952 cases reported in Mexico as of November 8.  [MORE]

  1. I can’t believe that the CDC hasn’t taken the first basic step in reducing the serious threat. That racisty-sounding Chikungunya should have been changed to Ch-1b months ago.

  2. Whip up a batch of colloidal silver to have on hand. Don’t just buy it, learn how to make it. Save yourself health, time, money. Works on simple ear infections, cuts, acne, cures the common cold, and starves viruses, pathogens and parasites.
