Spread by infected mosquitoes, this isn’t new territory: the region sees around 40 cases yearly, though many go unnoticed or cause mild illness. About 25% of cases become severe, and 10% of those are fatal — especially for older adults or those with weakened immune systems. Warmer nights are fueling mosquito activity. Stay safe: dump standing water weekly (even as little as a quarter-inch can breed mosquitoes), remove water-holding containers, and use DEET or picaridin repellent.
