Spring time awakens dangerous insects


Spring arrived early in Missouri; in fact, our winter was mild.  We had a couple episodes of snow-dusting and a few cold days, but overall, a mild winter.  Everyone is predicting the insects will be bad this year.  What can we do to protect ourselves and our children from bug (especially mosquito and tick) bites?  

Bug (mosquito and tick) bites can make us sick with illnesses such as West Nile virus (mosquitos spread it) and Lyme disease (ticks spread it).  The next few days I will discuss what these illnesses are and how to protect yourself and your loved ones.  Check back tomorrow and learn about West Nile virus disease.
