Chikungunya is Coming?

There are a bunch of cases in the US, now, but most seem to be travel-related. It does seem as though that this isn't a fun disease to have.

If American mosquitoes do begin to transmit this disease, it'd be a good idea to take preparations, such as using mosquito repellant, keeping your screens in good repair and making sure that there is no standing water on your property. Those little fuckers can breed in an upturned bottlecap's worth of water.

  1. Mosquitos are already a vector for such fun diseases -- in the United States! -- as West Nile Fever and dengue fever (re-emerging disease). There's plenty of reason not to want the little bloodsuckers around. Thank heaven they can't transmit hepatitis or HIV!
