Kamloops woman suspects she caught the Zika virus
KAMLOOPS — The World Health Organization is using the words ‘alarming’ and ‘explosive’ to describe the zika virus that’s spreading rapidly across the Americas.
The virus is linked to birth defects in babies, so pregnant women are advised not to travel to regions where they would be vulnerable.
A Kamloops snowbird living in Barbados believes she contracted the virus leaving her ill for more than a week.
