Are you worried about mosquitoes and/or the Zika Virus? I am. I live down here in South Florida on the front lines of battle against the Zika Virus being spread by the Aedes species of mosquito (Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus). It’s not just a problem specific to Florida though, maybe you’re traveling to Mexico or anywhere throughout the Caribbean? The Zika Virus is a VERY REAL issue in America right now and as doctors still don’t know enough about the virus to say for certain how long it stays in our systems or what all of the side effects might be it’s VERY IMPORTANT we take as many precautions as possible to avoid contracting the Zika Virus. Whether you are traveling to South Florida (or live here), going to Mexico, or anywhere throughout the Caribbean it’s important to cover yourself up using one of these mosquito-repellent shirts. With over 60% 5-star reviews this shirt does EXACTLY what it claims to do: repels mosquitoes and other insects, and thus protects you from the Zika Virus. Let’s check it out:
