Bugs, mosquitoes and ticks, oh, my!
It's mosquito and tick season once again -- and with the rains we got in April, that actually means something. The Guilford County Department of Public Health has posted some helpful suggestions to deal with those problems, ranging from reducing their breeding areas to reducing your own chances of being bitten. Bug bites, in addition to hurting and/or itching, can spread disease, notably (from ticks) Rocky Mountain spotted fever, so this is something to take seriously.
