Mosquitoes carry new deadly diseases

I had never heard of chikungunya or EEE (eastern equine encephalitis),or MERS (middle east respiratory syndrome).

I have noticed that chikungunya is here in nc.,
A word to the wise, put on your insect repellant, even if you're just mowing the grass.

Found a near real-time map to check your area.(can zoom in/out)

The EEE has been around for a few years now. I used to vaccinate our horses for it.

Corey, I did read they had a vaccine for the EEE virus and that it had a 70-90% mortality rate for horses, but not one for humans....

Sorry if it makes politically incorrect, to consider all these unaccompanied alien children could be bringing even more diseases here.

Be happy the mosquitos here cant transmit dengue like in Central America. I travel alot in Panama, and it is a scary issue there.

LocaL testers are coming up with a lot of known West Nile Virus in N.E. Pa. so on goes the deep woods cutters and it keeps the critters at bay. Heck one bite in the backyard can be dangerous so
act accordingly if outside. Luckily few if any cases on humans have been reported and you don't want to be the first...

I live in an area where over the last thirty years I have watched developement after developement being built. Not only did it take away good detecting areas they also have a habbit of putting in these storm water fields. Well all they do is hold water. I often wonder if these areas will one day come back to bite us in the behind in the form of mosquitoes.
