Zika coming to town...

Just another reason why The Pacific Northwest is the best!

Still gonna stock up on DEET though.

 

I'm zika this shit!

 

Everyone thoroughly scared?

Great. Now hand 1.9B to the CDC.

 

Think of the children.

 

Bring back the bats. Poor little guys.

 

Bat rescue out here gives away free bat houses.

They're incredibly easy to make too.

 

Notice how that map is sure not to leave out influential population centers such as SF Bay Area and New York City.

 

And very careful to avoid Illinois like most should be

 

I spend a lot of time in the bush, while deet works a Thermacell can't be beat.

 

Deet doesn't need batteries.

 

My wife is pasty and the bugs prefer her over my tan skin. She is my Deet.

 

I heard eating bath salts will keep skeets from biting...



seriously - a match head a day keeps em away.

 

x2 on this one. Although I have to hear about all the bites she gets, it might be easier for me to get bit instead.

 

Dryer sheets work too. Being from Alabama, we have tried everything.

 

Have a bat house on my house and getting one for my shop too. They smash mosquito populations.

 

This whole case is very interesting. I'm glad you brought up bats. They are critical.

Don't want to get too scientific here. My profession is in natural resource and forest sustainability, and it is concerning from a scientific standpoint. Just to bring this all together: Climate change is expanding the range of mosquitoes and other pests (so they are in more places); shorter winters are significantly increasing pest viability (so there are more of them); loss of habitat and environmental quality is killing off their predators (so less is eating them); and all these conditions together are increasing the spread of disease. What's truly tragic is these problems tend to be worse in poor parts of the world. Fucking mosquitos right?

Please don't get me wrong. I'm not a far left hippy at all, but these issues are disturbing. Think about it when you vote this year, and when you make choices that affect the environment...and get some DEET too.

 

nice little hump that conveniently travels up into Kansas city too.

 

And they say it can be sexually transmitted to women by men. Like I need another reason for women to not have sex with me.
