Once the temperatures begin to rise and rain levels start to pick up again in the spring, these eggs will begin to hatch and bring the next generation of mosquitoes into the world. These newly hatched mosquitoes will then begin to seek out a food source…you, but some of these pests may be infected with the Zika Virus. This disease is just one of many that mosquitoes can carry, and symptoms can last for up to several days to a week. People don’t typically get sick enough to go to the hospital when infected with the Zika Virus, however, symptoms of this disease include rashes, fevers, headaches, joint pain, red itchy eyes, and severe muscle pain. Being vigilant and taking measures to prevent mosquito infestation around your home is important in protecting you against this virus along with other diseases that these pests carry.
