Yellow Fever a mosquitoes purse

 Yellow Fever the unwanted fashionable summer color!

Yellow purses might be the summer fashion trend but not when your skin is the same color after being bitten by a bug. Yellow fever is a viral infection spread by a certain type of mosquito. It mostly occurs in areas of Africa and South America. Mild cases of yellow fever cause headache, fever, nausea and vomiting.

There's no specific treatment for yellow fever but there is treatment to relieve the symptoms of yellow fever. The No Mo Nausea Band combines acupressure and aromatherapy to instantly relieve nausea, vomiting, and headaches.

Avoid the bite! Mosquitos can carry various blood born infections. Don't forget to wear bug spray, devices that emit high frquency sounds to ward off bugs, and get all immunizations prior to leaving the country. In the US there were zero cases in 2014.
