If you have ever spent time outside in the early evening during the summer at some point you came into contact with a mosquito. Some people are bothered by them more than others and have various levels of reactions to their bites.
Mosquitoes usually are considered a nuisance pest, but occasionally they can transmit viruses to people and some animals. These viruses can cause illness and even death. While your chances of being infected with a disease through a mosquito bite are very small, there are simple steps you can take to reduce your risk of being bitten.
Ticks and Mosquitoes can transmit blood born diseases such as zika virus, west nile virus, malaria and Lyme’s disease. These diseases can be rare but do occur.
