Dangers of Zika Virus in Pregnant Women and Influence of Fetus in the Content.

The most feared thing from the "Zika Virus" is if this dangerous disease attacks pregnant women, because if the mother has been infected with the zika virus it is not impossible, the disease will also spread to the fetus.
Sadly, the prospective baby will be born in a deformed body. The condition of deformities in babies is known as microcephaly which has a bad impact on the fetus.

How to prevent the Zika Virus and Important Actions that Must be known by Pregnant Women.

Prevention will feel much more important than treatment of the Zika Virus, for pregnant women or women who are planning a pregnancy at this time it is better to know what actions should be taken to prevent this dangerous disease.

1. The most important and foremost is never to visit or walk to places / regions that are known to be infected with the zika virus.
2. Try to install a thin curtain (mosquito net) in the room to make it harder for mosquitoes to enter the room. Even though previously the room had been sprayed with insect repellent.
3. When traveling or being outside the house such as the front porch of the house, garden, swimming pool (if you have a private swimming pool well), social gathering at the house of Mrs. RT.
   We recommend that you wear closed clothes, such as long-sleeved clothes to the neck and using long pants. Yes, it doesn't need to be strict, it will even torture. It's a lot of leggings, aka saggy pants.
4. If you don't like to wear closed clothes for reasons of stifling and uncomfortable. Don't forget to use mosquito repellent lotion. But remember to use safe lotion, especially for pregnant women.
   For example mosquito repellent lotion containing Picaridin, Lemon eucalyptus Oil (OLE), DEET and IR3535.
   Or to be more sure again, before using the mosquito repellent it will be very good to consult first to the obstetrician. Fear that you have an allergic disease from one type of mosquito lotion.
5. Maintain the cleanliness of the house from now on. Check around your house whether there are buckets, ponds, flower pots, unused wells that are flooded with water. Especially in this rainy season, we need extra to maintain the cleanliness of the house. Because the Aedes Aegypti mosquito really likes the home environment with humid conditions and stagnant water.
   Never underestimate, so that we are not bitten by this Aedes Aegypti mosquito that carries the zika virus. One more thing that is not less important is that this mosquito bites during the day and not at night like other naughty mosquitoes.

Terrible facts about the Zika Virus

1 . Even though it is only recently known, it is not a new disease.

Communities around the world are troubled by this new phenomenon of disease. In fact, the Zika Virus Outbreak itself has been known since 1947 in the African country. Its origin was found in a Rhesus monkey in the depths of the Zika Forest in Uganda, Africa.
First known as ZIKV or ZIKAV, researchers believe that this disease is carried (parasitic) by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, the same type of mosquito as the cause of dengue fever.
The epidemic of the zika virus continued to hit severely in 1951 to 1981, reportedly its spread has reached most parts of Asia and Africa. Whereas in 2007 this outbreak was widespread to Polynesia. According to health statistics, 75 percent of Polynesia has been infected with the zika virus.
The most tragic and recently happened, since mid-2015 it has been reported that more than 500 thousand Brazilians have been infected by this deadly virus. Followed by the State of Colombia where there were 700 thousand people who were reported to be positively infected by the Zika Virus.
For this reason the Colombian state government through the Ministry of Health recommends that the women there postpone the pregnancy first, at least until 2018 or wait for a time that is considered safe enough.

2 . Symptoms of the Zika Virus are similar to those of Dengue, Dengue and Chikungunya.

Despite having symptoms that are really similar to dengue fever attacks such as high fever to 38 degrees Celsius, red spots, diarrhea and constipation, bone and joint pain etc.
However, the zika virus does not cause a decrease in platelet levels (clotting blood cells), which seems to be the case in dengue fever. But don't be happy first, even though not attacking platelets this virus will cause a decrease in white blood cell levels.

3 . Vaccines for the Zika Virus have not been found.

Until now there has not been found a vaccine to inhibit the growth of the Zika virus, the only vaccine that we can use only this Rubella vaccine only has a function as a prevention so that the fetus in the womb does not experience birth defects or abnormalities in the body.
The use of zika virus anti-vaccine is highly recommended for children, as well as for adults, especially women. This is very important and mandatory so that later a woman who has just married does not have a miscarriage.
And the most terrible, if the prospective baby is still alive will experience heart conditions, blindness, hearing loss, and microcephaly (microcephaly), namely brain damage, small head, and mental retardation and abnormal limb growth.

4 .How to treat Zika Virus

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) announced that the only way to treat the Zika Virus is:

• Total rest from all strenuous activities for 8 to 13 days because the body has an immune system which can naturally heal from the infection.
  -Making plenty of mineral water to prevent dehydration until the body's health is felt to be normal.
  -Do never take aspirin or a type of medicine containing NSAIDs (neo steroid anti-inflammatory), a type of medication commonly used to control inflammation of rheumatic diseases or pain relief caused by rheumatism.
  -Do treatment as quickly as possible to the nearest doctor, health center or hospital to get much better help. So it is not wrong to consume the right medicines, and get treatment if it feels necessary.
• Maintaining the cleanliness of the home environment, especially in the current rainy season where the humid environment is the most favorite place for mosquitoes to breed, especially the Aedes Aegypti mosquito.
