LOUISVILLE, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- As we move into the fall season, the risk of mosquito-borne diseases like Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE) and West Nile Virus (WNV) continues to be a concern in Colorado. Both viruses are transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, particularly those in the Culex species, and can lead to serious health issues, especially for young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Although the mosquito season typically peaks in the summer, mosquitoes remain active into the fall, keeping the risk of diseases like WEE and WNV high. People who are infected may not show symptoms, but those who do can experience anything from mild flu-like symptoms to severe neurological conditions like encephalitis, which involves inflammation of the brain and can be life-threatening.
Important Prevention Tips:
In addition to these personal precautions, professional mosquito control services are vital for managing mosquito populations and reducing the risk of disease. OBEX provides mosquito control services in Colorado to help safeguard residents from these serious health threats.
