There were additional lakes captured, however, and the preliminary report is again favorable. Minimal to no deposition was observed at the monitored sites. Tissue samples were not collected. No additional flies have been found for the last two days. We expect to see the counts drop following bait application, and it's good not to find new sites.
Traps continue to be deployed in the surrounding areas.
The Public Health Advisory Committee met today by teleconference. So far, there have been no health complaints received by the DOH, the Poison Information Center, the Emergency Rooms, or any of the physicians that have been contacted. I have requested that our media personnel stress the DOH Hotline number - USDA media representatives are also requesting that papers, radio stations, TV, etc. publish the DOH Hotline. Hopefully that number will be broadcast a little better. The Lake County Commissioners met today and were briefed by the USDA regarding eradication procedures.
