The newest fear that is sweeping the media is yet another foreign illness carried by mosquitoes. The Zika virus is causing a considerable amount of fear for not only the public but for the government, as well.

It's causing such a scare that President Obama is trying to wrangle up more than $1 Billion to combat the virus before it can become an epidemic.

The reason for this fear? The virus can be transmitted not only by mosquitoes but through sexual contact, as well. It leads to debilitating problems with pregnancies and can be carried by many people without them knowing it, only to manifest itself and become a threat to people they are close to.
