Mosquitoes can spread diseases like West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) to humans and animals by biting them.
Reduce your risk of mosquito bites by using an insect repellant with 20-30% DEET, wearing clothing that covers the arms and legs, and using screens and nets to keep mosquitoes out.
