Health department: Don’t give mosquitoes a biting chance
Special to the Bulletin
From the Brownwood/Brown County Health Department:
In Texas, mosquito bites are more than just an annoyance. Mosquitoes can transmit diseases that can make you and your family sick. Some mosquito-borne diseases can cause birth defects and others can be fatal.
Mosquitoes may become infected when they bite an animal, bird, or person who is infected with a virus or parasite. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the illness to people through bites. Protect yourself from the health risks of diseases spread by mosquitoes.
Take precautions at home or when you travel to areas known to have mosquito-borne illnesses. The best way to protect yourself and your family is to prevent mosquito breeding and bites. It’s important to be vigilant against mosquitoes, because they can bite day and night and live both indoors and outdoors.
