Mosquito Dangers

Picture
​While most mosquitoes are nothing more than annoying pests, there are in fact some 3,000 species worldwide, and 150 in the U.S., some of which can carry highly dangerous diseases. Here are some of the more common ones, all reasons why you should ensure your family are kept safe from mosquitoes in general.​​

Zika Virus

The mosquito-borne illness is rapidly spreading through the Americas, and is linked to serious birth defects. Zika is a virus spread by mosquitoes that causes symptoms including rashes, fevers, headaches, pain behind the eyes, and joint pain. The urgency of this outbreak comes not from the severity of its symptoms, but from the fact that Zika has been linked to microcephal, a condition that creates smaller-than-normal head size in infants. This is typically a rare condition, and is associated with incomplete brain development. Zika is still a pandemic in progress as it continues to be bolstered via international travel.

The number of LAC cases a year is estimated to be 80-100.

The eastern equine encephalitis virus is not as common among humans as the WN virus. EEE is more commonly found in various bird species, as well as horses. However, the fatality rate for persons infected with EEE is over 50 percent. Fortunately, there are typically fewer than 30 reported cases nationally in any given year. For more information, statistics, and symptoms on EEE go to:
