A message from the Dunstable Board of Health:
MOSQUITOES - more than just annoying. That bite could be carrying EEE or West Nile Virus.
Groton and Tyngsboro are now in the moderate risk zone for West Nile Virus and EEE. These are serious diseases. Please wear long sleeves and/or an EPA approved insect repellant when outside, particularly during the high activity time for mosquitoes at dusk and dawn. Maybe end that outdoor activity 30 minutes earlier to get in before the mosquito air force arrives.
This link shows the risk map, updated by DPH based on human and equine cases as well as presence of the virus found in their regular mosquito sampling. Please take care.
