The last couple of weeks I posted information about MERS and the concern over this new virus that has health officials quite concerned. Now another virus is emerging in Florida. This one is carried by our little friends the mosquito. It is called Chikungunya.
Three cases have been confirmed in Florida. There are concerns that this could begin to spread across the U.S. much like the West Nile Virus did years ago. Health officials will continue to monitor this virus and travelers from the Caribbean and other areas where the virus is originating.
