    About this ebook

    Are you terrified of Zika? Did you know that other diseases affect if your child has a birth defect from Zika?

    In this short, simple book, Dr. Maloney goes through the history of Zika. Despite media reports, mosquitoes have never been the primary spreaders of the disease. Maloney explains that Zika is far more common than we realized. Then he clarifies why some pregnant mothers are at far higher risk than others.

    The media reports of Zika have been skewed by incomplete information and most Ob/Gyn doctors rely on the inaccurate international reports. Far more children are being unnecessarily aborted out of fear of the virus than would suffer birth defects from Zika.

    Don't be afraid, be informed.

    Christopher Maloney

    Dr. Christopher Maloney has spent his life trying to become the doctor he was unable to find when he was ill himself. His practice can be summed up by: when you get hit by a bus go see your M.D. When you just feel like you were, it is time to see me.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      I want to thank the tireless researchers at the World Health Organization, the CDC and all related institutions. Without them, we would have no information about Zika Virus. I would also like to thank my patients, my coworkers, and my family for putting up with me. Finally, I want to thank you for educating yourself about Zika Virus.

      PREFACE

      Zika virus is big news. We seem to hear daily about small headed babies (microcephaly) and paralyzed victims. It’s terrifying, and Zika seemed to come out of nowhere. But Zika has been a threat growing slowly without much publicity. It may be less dangerous than we suspect, but more dangerous if we don’t change the way we are approaching its spread.

      My goal in this book is to explain what Zika virus is, how it infects, and why we need to change the way we think about how it spreads. By the end of this book, you will know what you need to do to avoid getting Zika, understand how severe Zika occurs, and be better able to protect your family and loved ones.

      If you or someone you love is expecting, the reality is that you've been told some partial truths about Zika. Your focus may be on avoiding mosquitoes, when your focus should really be on your previous exposure to similar viruses and the fidelity of your current partner.

      Even if they wipe out every mosquito in the Amazon, some travelers will still bring Zika home with them. Not from a mosquito, from a rendezvous with a bitten stranger. Afterward, back in their home countries, the infected will blame the mosquitoes. Zika researchers won’t
