Human: I've been hearing a lot about the Zika virus. What should I do to protect myself? Assistant: 
The best way to protect yourself from the Zika virus is to avoid mosquito bites. You can reduce your risk by using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors, and staying in places with air conditioning or window screens that are effective at keeping out mosquitoes. Additionally, you should check for symptoms of Zika infection if you have recently traveled to an area where the virus is circulating.
