Are the bugs letting off a bit now?
Thanks, Ron

Bugs still around, and we've been getting rain again.

We got home yesterday, stayed a week and hit many islands... Only bug issue was ashore and not too bad anywhere except bubbly pool late in the day. However, got eaten alive badly by no-see-ums last night in my room in my bed at sugarmill... I believe they came in through the screen in bathroom window, AC on in the room. Was very bad.

Anyone worried or had any experience with Zika in the BVI?

I'm not worried, but it's been there.

Wife and I just got back from the BVI and intend to start a family in the near future.

While a slight concern was there, we just used plenty of picaridin based bug spray. Didn't seem to get bothered by mosquitos on our trip, mostly flies and no-see-ums.

In the unlikely event one of us would've contracted Zika we would've put off our family plans until we got the all clear.

If my wife was actually pregnant I think we would've avoided the area until she delivered. No sense in taking that risk.
