A member asked:

Is it safe to go to mexico, tulum with my husband, if i plant to start trying to get pregnant in a year? regarding zika?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take Precautions: Coastal areas like Tulum will have a higher likelihood of Zika Mosquitoes then higher elevations (>6500 feet above sea level). CDC recommends taking precautions while in Mexico to reduce exposure. I would recommend avoiding the jungle areas and wearing repellent at all times.
