The
"Triple E Virus" seems to be spreading
across Maine to some degree.
Maine has had a number of cases reported and
there have been several horses put down that
contracted this disease in Maine. In rare cases,
it can be deadly to humans. Mosquitoes can carry
the disease and infect both humans & animals.
For most humans it is not fatal but can be. Some
people (like me) think once summer is over we
can stop using insect repellants. Due to this
outbreak it is recommended to continue to use
this right through fall as there are still
mosquitoes present especially on warmer days.
Long sleeve shirts & pants are recommended for
people who work outside or participate in
outdoor activities.
