marc siegel. great to see you k as always. how concerning is this?now this, obviously, but this disease or this virus, rather, can mimic symptoms of diseases such as ms. i mean, this is pretty serious, right? >> well, we worry about this in infants and fetuses, but the reason that number is tripled is misleading. it was underreported before because they were not looking at women that didn't get sick. you can actually get this 80% of the time and have no symptoms as all. so they're looking at cases of women that were exposed to it, didn't get sick but are carrying it. we want to see if it's going to affect the fetus. we don't know -- deirdre: because there have been cases in south america, right, where fetuses are thought to have been affected. >> yes. whether the woman is sick or not. it's not correlated. you could have an asymptomatic kind. 80% of the time you don't get sick from zika but, unfortunately, it can affect the developing fetus. here's the other headline, it's not spreading here. mosquitoes in the united states have not picked it up, and

marc siegel is with us now. 13 of 14 contestants gained it all back. why?ahill lost 239 pounds, and he gained back 100. you know why? because the way they're losing weight, stuart, is by a lot of exercise, which i approve of, but a tremendous restriction of calories which i think is a big stress on the system, and nobody can live with that 800-calorie-a-day business. so as soon as the spotlight is off you, you start eating anything. stuart: wait, wait, wait -- >> bang, 100 pounds come back. stuart: is it just a lack of discipline? you can't keep the weight off because you can't stop eating calories, or is it something to do with your metabolism? >> it's both. a, you can't keep that up, because of the lack of discipline, b, your body is going to rebel and not live in that starvation mode. i have to tell you, this may be good for tv ratings, it is not healthy to lose that much in seven months. if you have an underlying risk of heart disease or stroke, any of that, those ratings are going to drop tremendously if anyone ever has a heart attack -- it's not healt

marc siegel joining us right now. what is your take on the zika virus?w this all is a great basketball player, but should not make public health announcements. less than 1% of the spread by travel will be from the olympics. brazil is going into it right now. this less mosquito spray around. we have to look at the areas he would be traveling to. and the united states may have to mosquito in southern states. it's about mosquito control. if you don't have mosquitoes ramping, you can't write someone who brings a tear and then by someone else with it. that's how it has to spread. it is not person-toperson-to -person. mosquito to person to another person. also, in the zika was known as a nuisance virus. 20% of the time you get mad flu symptoms. we are talking about the risk to pregnant women. that is serious. it affects the fetus more than we thought. anyone pregnant or considering getting pregnant should not go to the olympic spirit there should be traveling faster as it airports. that's completely different than moving the entire team searches for any other

marc siegel is here. how strong is this link. >> national toxicology program, nih.y put into this. 2500 rats and nine hours a day and found an increased risk of certain brain cancer and it's rats. i'm going to tell rats, wear this. seriously, way too preliminary for me to be worried about it, nine hours a day. i say we've got to look more into that. stuart: the more important story, i think, is the deadly super bug which apparently arrived in america, and resistent to all forms of antibiotics, including the antibiotics of last resort. that's serious. >> very serious, especially since the antibiotic of last resort are something that countries around the world are feeding to animals. the animals get fed low amounts of antibiotics to promote growth and to prevent them from being infected. it back fires because e. coli changes in the intestine of animals and next thing you know, gets into humans. the kind of resistance like somebody playing cards at a casino. you get a card and has one resistance and another resistance. this resistance can be transferred from one bacter

marc siegel has thence in our series. today we're focused on diving accidents.brian is long gone but diving is dangerous. american red cross says don't dive in water in less than 9 feet deep but injuries are occurring when a lot of them are drunk or on drugs. they're trying too many tricks. they're diving in above groujd pools. they can heart their head or neck. i'm in north shore emergency room and i'm joined by the chairman of neurology here, dr. paul wright. good morning, dr. wright. >> good morning. thank you for coming. >> what do you think? less than 10% involve diving boards. we're talking about just jumping into pools. >> it turns out when diving is involved more accidents occur. people feel less inhibited and do tricks. they end up jumping into pools that are very shallow. there are individuals who mimic other behaviors, so when they see their friends jumping or diving into pools, they go ahead and do the same thick. >> how do you know you have a concussion after you hit your head or neck that you should see a doctor? >> you should see a doctor when you
