Might as well sit in a bathtub full of deet nowadays.
That sucks! I got dengue fever once, and it pretty bad. I can’t imagine getting dengue and two others at the same time cause I was just hanging out. And this dude got it in New Hampshire. He wasn’t even in a mosquito paradise like Africa or the Caribbean. This guy got West Nile Virus from a mosquito in New England. Fuckkkkk 😩
I imagine everyone that’s been around him was feeling odd since it could have happened to them too. Kind of like if I had been stopped at a light right next to a car that got rear-ended and put the driver in the ICU. Also, I know I’d be hypervigilant of any symptoms for like 2-3 weeks, reading all of the early symptoms of each disease the guy got. “Oh no, I think I have EEE/St. Louis Encephalitis/West Nile Virus, too. I’m fucked.”
About that global warming and subtropical diseases being able to survive further north and south.
Yeah… Welcome to the new normal.
Mosquitoes: Fuck this guy in particular
ok but seriously who named a mosquito-borne virus eee?
The mosquito, it’s what they scream in your ear.
Got a different way to abbreviate Eastern Equine Encephalitis?
Trip-E?
Yo, that’s trippy.
Shit’s scary. I got 5 or so fresh mosquito bites doing the gardening over the weekend.
