Boy Killed by Mosquito Bite...

We just read another report of someone dying from an infected mosquito bite. This time it was a 13 year old boy. Dying from a mosquitoe bite he wasen't even aware of. Only sick a week. So sudden. So sad. Didn't seem to matter that this boy was healthy and active before. The disease called Eastern Equine Encephalitis killed him via a mosquito bite. We've posted on this danger before.

The CDC now says virus infected mosquitoes are in every US state. Check out previous posts. And here a couple more helpful links from the government about the West Nile Virus.
