These Mosquito Bites Could Be Deadly
Most people have had mosquito bites at some time in their life. But as summer begins and lockdowns lift, Americans can add another threat to their list of health worries: Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), a potentially lethal brain infection caused by a mosquito-borne virus.
Only female mosquitoes bite. Warm temperatures, light, body odor, and sweat are some things that make you a mosquito target.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning to watch out for these EEE’s.
Richard Pollack, PhD, senior environmental public health officer at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, warns that in the past, enhanced EEE activity has come in waves of two to three years, with the risk diminishing for about a decade or so in between.
