EEE Advisory

From the Health Department:

Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is a rare but serious disease caused by a virus that is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. EEE has been found in mosquitos on Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts this summer. Be sure to take precautions and protect yourself against mosquito bites. Apply insect repellent when you are outdoors, avoid peak mosquito hours (dusk to dawn), wear long-sleeves, sock and long pants when you are outside around peak times, and mosquito proof your home by draining any standing water and repairing screens.
