    Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando on Sunday began offering the mosquito spray and lotion free of charge at their parks.

    No mosquito-transmitted case of the Zika virus has been found in central Florida. But theme park officials say they’re offering the repellant as a precaution and to ease the fears of visitors.

    The Department of Health is investigating mosquito-transmitted Zika cases in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties in South Florida, as well as in Pinellas County in the Tampa area.

    Zika causes a mild illness in most people but can lead to severe brain-related birth defects if women are infected during pregnancy.

    Where is the Obama administration, why aren’t they handing out bug replant? Why are they so busy with letting Syrians into the country yet can’t protect or help the ones that are already here???
