Wife and I are planning to go huatulco Mexico in April. Has anyone heard more on Zika virus in that area of Mexico?

Check the CDC website. They have the whole country of Mexico on the Zika list. But they would have more info (and a more direct source with accurate info than Facebook)

Thank u

Thank u

Zika is a risk in all of
Mexico h might want to check if it’s a malaria area too

All of Mexico? You're not correct.

Michael zika yes all of Mexico and Malaria is only certain areas

Link to a source then, please.

You're wrong because the species of mosquito that carries Zika doesn't live past certain elevations, like in Mexico City, for example.

Also if you are planning to have a baby in the next year don’t it lives in sperm for up to a year and can cause problems

Thank you.

Sanju np I work for Canadian blood services this is accurate information

Jessica Maxwell doesn’t matter if u didn’t get it .. still a malaria risk area

I live in Mexico. Zika IS here. Malaria...we honestly "laugh" that we are on that list. Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya, are what we have here.

I overheard a nurse at a travel health clinic in Vancouver a few years ago saying that yes, they must take malaria pills if visiting Cabo San Lucas. I could only hope that she was thinking of someplace else. Only place I ever took malaria pills was India.

It is crazy. Puerto Vallarta isn't on the Malaria list. However, Bucerias Nayarit (about 20 minutes north of PV) is on the list. I guess the mosquitoes must know this an stop at the state border LMAO.

Thank u

Actually pv is on the list

Cabo an cancun are safe

We just came back from Huatulco, and did not encounter any mosquitoes. I think it makes a difference if you are hiking in the jungle, and visiting in the mountain areas rather than staying in the urban areas and beaches.

Thank you for the reply.

It is more if you stay on a resort or hotel. They spray often. I always wear off 365/year as there are always mozzies here

We stayed in Crucecita, just off the square.

We’ve been to PV Sayulita and La Manzinilla Jan/feb quite a few times. I never get mozzies

We go regularly to PV. (December) This year I had bites, extremely itchy. We stay at the same resort every year.
Also a few years ago I could not be a blood donor because I had been to PV within the year. Before that it was just if I went north of PV, that I could not donate.
