Imagine this; it’s a beautiful day in South Florida and you’re getting ready for a backyard barbecue with all your friends and family. You’re pool is cleaned and ready to go, the grill is hot and the people are having a great time. However, all of a sudden a mosquito lands on someone in the pool and starts doing its thing. A harmless swat sends the pest buzzing away, but an itchy red dot might be the least of your worries. Mosquitoes have long been a summertime pest, but new blood-borne illnesses such as West Nile Virus and Dengue Fever are making mosquitoes much more problematic. West Nile is the original mosquito disease that people have heard of and it wasn’t even a common thing until the mid to late 90’s. One of the most dangerous aspects of West Nile is that many people don’t experience symptoms after infection so it can be tricky to diagnose. Dengue Fever is similar to West Nile in that it is transferred via mosquito, but it is a much older and better known ailment. In fact, millions of people are infected with Dengue Fever every year. Mosquitoes transfer illnesses from one person to the next and you could be next unless you take the proper precautions.
The easiest way to prevent mosquitoes from biting you and your loved one is to limit your expose to them. This could mean wearing clothing that covers your skin or using some kind of insect repellant. However, you can’t wear clothes or bug spray in the pool, so then what?
