If you feel like this summer “bites” at times, you’ve likely had a run in with mosquitoes, thanks to wet spring and summer.
That’s Chickasaw County Public Health Administrator Lisa Welter, who says there are a variety of ways to give you a barrier to mosquitoes.
Welter says protecting yourself against mosquito bites also helps protect others as well from spreading diseases the pests might carry.
While using mosquito repellent sounds like a good idea to help combat the flying blood suckers, actually getting it might prove difficult. Due to the high prevalence of mosquitoes this summer, some stores in the state that carry bug spray and larvicide are running very low if not completely out of stock.
