      Not a chance of catching it in Scotland, no mozzies live here, but the Scottish midge is pretty fierce.

        But there have been confirmed cases caused by contact. What, the Scots don't travel to foreign lands? What's to say that zika comes to you?

        We are advised not to travel to areas of this sort, if you're sensible, you don't go, to my knowledge no cases have been reported in the UK.

          There have been some cases reported here. I'm not actively "afraid" of mosquitoes, but I really don't like them.

                Yes. Has deet shown any promise in repelling them?

                  Nah. The chances of me giving birth are getting slimmer by the year.

                    Nah, mosquitoes in Canada are not that big, so I'm not worried.

                    Seriously, they are less of a problem here due to our change of seasons (and colder weather) but one never knows.
