I am not a fan of any type of mosquito, but there's a warning about one in Illinois that you definitely don't want to mess with. It's an invasive pest that isn't supposed to be here in the first place, but it is now a reality. Beware that they carry diseases and bite like a tiger.
It was simply a matter of time. With the number of mosquitos that seem to take over Illinois and Missouri during the summertime, the fact that a potentially severe mosquito-borne illness is now confirmed in the area should not come as a surprise.
It might just be the most urgent health issue in America right now and it's especially becoming a big problem for Illinois. The CDC is warning about an explosion of cases of dengue fever and Illinois is among the states with the most incidents.
It's really a genius idea if you think about it. What better way to battle those evil and sometimes deadly mosquitos that swarm in Missouri summers than an aerial weapon? Answer - drones and it could happen because it's already being done.
I was born and raised in Missouri and have lived in the Show Me State most of my life and I can attest to the fact that my people talk a lot. I mean that as a compliment. However, there are a number of things you will never ever hear a Missouri person say. This is just the start of phrases you'll rarely if ever hear uttered within our borders.
It happens every year, but it doesn't make in any less harrowing. Soon, the greatest killer in the world will begin its trek back toward Missouri and its arrival is just 2 short months away now.
It's the time of year when mosquitos thrive in our part of America. No surprise then that these nasty bugs have been reported in Illinois with 2 counties now confirmed to have mosquitos with West Nile virus.
