There's something about the engineering behind GMO's that I've always found unsettling.  Reports are coming in that a College of William and Mary student contracted the Zika virus while touring Central America recently.

Nothing in that article actually supports that genetic modification had anything to do with this outbreak. It just drops that dreaded "GMO" term and lets paranoia do the rest.

Somehow I missed Mimic when it premiered a million years ago.  Off to Netflix.
