Wear your bug spray, health officials warn. Five different mosquito-borne diseases have infected Flo
At least seven Florida residents have already been bitten by a mosquito carrying the West Nile virus this year. Furthermore, the virus known as Orophouche, which has proven fatal in South America, is the most recent mosquito-borne illness to infect Florida. Through travellers to Cuba, it made its way to Florida. Thirty cases of travel-associated Oropouche fever, including ten this past week, have been reported in Florida thus far.
