Brazilian here, Ive been in Rio a couple of times (living in Sao Paulo right now, who also has problems w&#x2F;Aedes Aegypti):<p>Come to Brazil if you wish, but take care. The Aedes Aegypti mosquito is all around and can spread not only Zika, but Chikungunya (kindly named &quot;chico cunha&quot;) and Dengue.<p>Make good use of insect repellent, watch your stuff when walking on beaches (don&#x27;t forget robbers and thieves) and think twice about trusting someone.<p>As someone said before, every city in the world has its problems and brazilian cities have them also.<p>Personally, I will not go to Olympics just because hotel prices on Rio skyrocketed and are almost impractical.
