What’s Happening Right Now?

One story that’s grabbing headlines is the spread of the Oropouche virus, now nicknamed the “sloth virus.” The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) just reported the first cases in Spain, Italy and Germany. The virus originally blew up in South America, especially in Brazil and Cuba, and now it’s showing up in travelers returning to Europe. Symptoms can start with a fever and aches, but some people develop headaches, joint pain or even neurological problems.

If you’re planning a trip to any of the affected areas, take a few simple steps: use insect repellent, wear long sleeves at dusk, and keep windows screened to keep midges and mosquitoes out. There’s no vaccine yet, so personal protection is the best defense.

How to Protect Yourself When You Travel

Travel health doesn’t have to be complicated. First, check the health advisory for your destination. Look for any new alerts about viruses, food safety, or water quality. Second, pack a small kit with repellent, a basic first‑aid set, and any prescription meds you need.

While you’re on the road, stay hydrated, eat cooked foods, and wash your hands often. If you feel unwell after returning home, see a doctor right away and mention any recent trips. Early diagnosis can make a big difference, especially with emerging diseases like Oropouche.
