'Anointing with anti-mosquito stuff is only option '

- Continue rubbing with mosquito repellent and sleep under a mosquito net. That is,, the only option '' for travelers this summer going to the Olympics in Brazil, says insect expert Bart Knols Thursday.

He is very concerned about the outbreak of the zikavirus.,, In Brazil's state of emergency. You do not do so, it is there an extreme situation. My fear is pretty simple: there is no medicine or vaccine against the virus, and people there in droves soon go '', says medical entomologist.

Zikavirus it is not dangerous to adults, but can cause an unborn child to severe brain abnormalities. The symptoms of the virus include fever, skin rashes, eye inflammation, joint pain, and headache. Patients have about two to seven days are required to recover.

Knols expect otherwise in the Olympic village in Rio de Janeiro and in the stadiums no problems, but in the regions beyond.,, In the Olympic village being drugged all, there you will soon find a mosquito. But people who run a real risk of becoming infected outings, you do not know what measures will be taken in the outlying areas. ''
