Might as well sit in a bathtub full of deet nowadays.
Mosquitoes: Fuck this guy in particular
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.
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.
E3
Shit’s scary. I got 5 or so fresh mosquito bites doing the gardening over the weekend.
