​Still on our How To Treat series, which I believe would last for more than a month. And this particular post would.be talking about how to treat zika rash .

What is Zika Rash or Zika Virus?

Zika virus is a mosquito- borne illness that is spread by the Aedes species of mosquito, the mosquito also responsible for the transmission of dengue and chikungunya viruses .

In other words the zika rash is a product of the zika virus itself, more directly, one of its symptoms.

According to Wikipedia

Its name comes from the Zika Forest of Uganda, where the virus was first isolated in 1947. Zika virus is related to the dengue , yellow fever , Japanese encephalitis , and West Nile viruses.
