Mosquito, tick and flea bites can cause serious illnesses like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme Disease or West Nile Virus. Be sure to share if you have had any bites with your doctor if you experience any common symptoms like fatigue, fever, nausea or vomiting. Using insect repellent is crucial. Awareness about mosquito and tick born illness is essential especially for those of child bearing age. Traveling abroad? Consider mosquito netting and be sure to pack a repellent that possibly contains diethyltoluamide also called DEET. Have A Healthy Day!
