West Nile Virus can be uneventful for some, but for others it can be deadly. That's the case in Illinois as someone has just passed away shortly after being diagnosed with the virus.
I am not a fan of any type of mosquito, but there's a warning about one in Illinois that you definitely don't want to mess with. It's an invasive pest that isn't supposed to be here in the first place, but it is now a reality. Beware that they carry diseases and bite like a tiger.
What happens when you combine a relatively mild winter with a very wet Spring, and rapidly rising warmer-than-normal conditions? If you shouted "clouds and clouds of nasty mosquitos," you've probably already stock up on Deep Woods Off.
