    It's on my mind. I live in Maine so we are fairly far removed from it in theory. But we are traveling in a few weeks to a riskier area (no known Zika there and approved by my OB). I'm going to be slathered in DEET and will be thinking about it constantly.

    Absofreakinlutely. There is no way I would needlessly risk exposure.

    I'm not worried. I live in Canada so I think there's a low chance of it spreading here. I still plan to use bug spray religiously this summer though.

    It did have me second guessing some travelling this year though. I don't think I'll be comfortable travelling to an area with Zika until we're done having kids.
