The consequences of these mosquito bursts extend beyond mere discomfort, as they heighten the risk of mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus, and Eastern equine encephalitis. Public health authorities are advising residents to take preventive actions to guard against mosquito bites. These measures include the use of insect repellent, wearing protective clothing such as long sleeves and pants, and removing any standing water around their properties to eliminate potential breeding sites.
