As the weather continues to warm up, we want to remind people to protect themselves from disease-carrying mosquitoes, like those that carry the West Nile virus: ow.ly/kA8R50uk372
#SummerSafety #mosquito
#ClimateChange, particularly increased temperature and changes in rainfall, contributes to the spread of West Nile virus. #ClimateChangesHealth
The good news: Preventing bites is relatively easy. Here are some tips:
1. Eliminate standing water around your home.
2. Wear #mosquito repellents that contain DEET, oil of lemon eucalyptus or Picardin.
3. Wear long-sleeved shirts & pants.
4. Make sure doors/windows fit tightly.
