Towns in southern New Hampshire are scrambling to spray for mosquitos after traces of eastern equine encephalitiswere discovered in the bugs. They decided to have professionals do the spraying, which is encouraging. A lot of school systems would have had their own maintenance staff do it, which would have put more kids at risk.

Hi,
My dad passed in October 2008 of this very aggressive virus. I am in need of ways of heightening awareness of the importance of protecting yourselves. Dad did just that and contracted the virus anyway.
I miss him so much it hurts.
