Triple EEE.. eastern equine encephalitis its nothing new Earl... each year it comes out in some part of the state... you can't worry about it... wear your bug spray and work or play... otherwise lock yourself in our house and watch everyone else find good stuff

I was bitten last week by dozens of skeeters none have tested positive for EEE down here its more Eastern CT

Why are you always the bearer of bad news?


Its rare here in CT...

Nothing wrong with sending out a reminder Earl. Thanks for thinking of us! We'll look forward to receiving a case of Deep Woods Off. :lol:
 
In other news... 2 people died from horses, 1 from a cow and 4 from dog attacks since the start of this thread.
Time to pull up the big boy pants.
 
pretty much anything today can kill you

yup... we work outside and get stung. bit all the time... I recently was attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes.... they carry lots of things besides triple EEE...


Zika, West Nile, I can go on.. when I visited Colombia my wife's nephew got dengue fever while I was there...

How about a post on ticks and the 7 things they can carry... Im sure there are beach guys that also dirt dig..

I'm on LI, we have enough to worry about in the woods, West Nile Virus, Zika Virus, Chikungunya, Dengue Fever. Not to mention all the tick born illness, its a rough world out there.:lol:
 
Fact is that if you spend time outdoors there will possibly be bugs, rabid animals and dangerous humans that might possibly harm you. It’s our choice to make it’s always been that way, and most of us just go out anyway. I detect a local park where some of the humans are REALLY scary! But I go anyway.
 
Every year I wonder what I will get next. I had dengue many years ago, chikunguya maybe 6 years and zika about 4 years ago. I live in a tropical place, and 99% of the day i don't wear a shirt. The option of slathering myself with bug spray 24 hours a day is really not an option. When something like zika comes through it gets EVERYONE, every person I know has had it, it's not the end of the world, just annoying for a week...
Chikunguya was the worst though, it was like instant arthritis and for up to a year or so later you would feel it from time to time.
 
They

Used to spray , no more, can't even get the roads fixed, over seas battles more important than us & or vets , I sure am glad I wasn't born yesterday , knowing I have 25 or 30 years left , just hope I don't die premature as it seams everything is getting g worse , not better , I posted this thread to warn some of us that spend time out doors , land hunting might be a bit scarier now , I have a cell photo of the kissing bug on my truck , than I saw people dead in 9 days on the news from a Mosq. Bite , be safe Earl
 
What happened to the good old days, we never had the little critters biting back then?
