alison: in fox 5 health news, researchers working on a project that's going to sound crazy. they're looking for volunteers who are willing to be infected with the zika virus to find a vaccine. steve: this begs the question who would want to sign up for that duty? >> that's a really good question. so obviously there's a lot that virus. it is thought that most adults are able to clear the virus without long-term effects. however, we do have some data that can affect adults and developing children. so usually these vaccines or types of challenges are done with a modified virus, which is not quite as strong as the virus that you would acquire naturally. and generally, they do figure out a safe way to administer this type of study. yes, you're donating your body

alison: seems scary. you said it's common to say a study with the flu where you know what the flu is. so many questions about zika. >> there are a lot of unknowns here. again, they think they can safely administer the virus and hopefully the vaccine will be effective. but, you know, certainly a lot of unknowns here. steve: indeed. hair loss in women may be a lot more common than you think. a survey looks at how widespread of a problem it is. it is something you don't think about, with this. >> sure. hair loss mistakenly thought to be a condition that only affects men, but extremely common in women. i believe that probably 50 percent of women by the age of 50 experience hair loss at some point in their lives. i see it almost daily if not multiple times during the day. i think a big misconception for women, they don't realize the most common type of hair loss is

hereditary hair loss. although women can develop other kinds and there can be lots of causes. if you are a woman and experiencing hair loss, it's important to get it checked out. steve: do you know where it comes from as far as they say it's your father -- alison: your mother's father -- steve: right. >> in your genes. mom or dad. certainly both sides have hair loss, you're at higher risk. there was a thought initially that it came from your mom's side, so the men on your mom's that had to do with an x chromosome thing. it can happen from either side. to, you know, you can blame either parent. steve: fair enough. always good to have people to blame. alison: exactly. thank you. steve: thank you. humidity returned today in a big way. alison: you could feel it. nick: yeah. you're going to feel more of it. it will be increasing tomorrow and saturday for the weekend. it is august. it's supposed to be there way. it won't be overly hot. it will be quite warm the next couple of days, pushing the
