We do not have the virus in our area and have no direct experience with it. however, with that said, CS seems most effective against viruses when they are in the blood stream. The virus is initially injected in the blood stream by the mosquito, and must find refuge inside a cell to reproduce. Thus the best time to attack the virus is immediately after being bitten, before it has found a hidding place.
That said, I would drink some CS before going outside as a preventative. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
