Abierta la temporada de mosquitos: corre a la cocina para crear el repelente casero definitivo

La subida primaveral de las temperaturas trae consigo la proliferación de insectos. Comienza pues la temporada de moscas y mosquitos, que más allá de la molestia de su zumbido, acarrea problemas de higiene si se posan en la comida y de picaduras.

With half-baked federal budget cuts and a hit year coming, will we have less surveillance, less spraying and more infectious?

I imagine we will get a reactionary response from the federal gov and local gov.

I hope local uni’s and local hospitals will step in to fill in the gap. Does anyone know if there are systems in place that make this information public? - Specifically in Great Plains states, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas-Fort Worth?

zero fucks given by these blood-sucking, flying bastards.

They fly so slowly towards my face, lazily avoiding the slap of my hand, like they're not even trying.

They aren't trying.

They've had the good kind of brownie and now they're out for blood.

I feel them on my forehead. They are brazen. They want to feed and they just don't care.
