Only places in US are Florida and Texas. The zika-carrying mosquitoes don't even exist in Oregon. You're good to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zika-still-a-concern#post-2768952 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 11:46:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2768952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even when it was a concern and I live in the south, my OB said they wouldn't test me unless we had symptoms or the baby showed anything "off". </p> <p>At your next appointment just ask about what your OB recommends you doing. Do you need to stay indoors, wear long sleeves, spray, or is the risk not really relevant any longer in your area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zika-still-a-concern#post-2768949 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 11:42:29 +0000 catomd00 2768949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah it's still a thing, but in Oregon I wouldn't be worried at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zika-still-a-concern#post-2768933 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 10:44:36 +0000 MaryM 2768933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's mostly only a concern further south and in low lying coastal areas. </p> <p><a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/world-map-areas-with-zika" rel="nofollow">https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/world-map-areas-with-zika</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zika-still-a-concern#post-2768932 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 10:43:16 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2768932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is Zika still a thing? I'm 13 weeks pregnant and I was bitten about 10 times on Saturday (in Oregon). Think there's any need to ask my doctor? </p>
