Best to be informed to take extra precautions to prevent bites if you are pregnant. http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda...-pregnant-women

Though the article has a lot of the same information there are links to other sites. Click on the words "emerging infectious disease" for reports and a map from ECDC. http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2016-0...=ODQxNzA3MzgzS0 Last edited by SeaStar; 01/15/2016 11:12 PM.
