Wash any exposed fruits and vegetables, such as those from your garden, before storing, cooking or eating. Persons with asthma or other respiratory problems should stay indoors during spraying. DEM's Mosquito Information Line will be open Sunday and Monday evening because of today's finding. No mosquitoes have tested positive for West Nile Virus or Eastern Equine Encephalitis. In addition, the presence of West Nile Virus was previously reported in a horse, which was euthanized.
Mosquito bites are the only means by which either disease can be transmitted to humans.
