Episode Details

Mosquito season is stretching longer and spreading farther — scientists warn warmer temps are creating more days perfect for disease-spreading bites. Since the 1970s, U.S. cities have seen a dramatic rise in “mosquito disease days,” with the Southeast, Northeast, and Northwest hit hardest. Portland, Maine, now gets 27 extra risky days a year — nearly a whole month more. Across 277 cities, the average jump? 18 more disease-prone days annually. That means viruses like West Nile, EEE, and Jamestown Canyon have more time to spread. Stay safe: wear long sleeves, use EPA-approved repellent, and light citronella candles when you’re outside.
