The CDC has issued a Level 2 travel advisory for several countries due to rising chikungunya cases, with over 240,000 infections and 90+ deaths reported. Spread by Aedes mosquitoes, the virus can cause high fever, severe joint pain, rashes, and rare neurological complications. Concerns are growing about potential spread in the U.S. as mosquito habitats expand. Prevention efforts include repellents, protective clothing, and reducing standing water near homes.
