If you needed a reason to stay inside for the rest of summer, here it is: killer mosquitoes.

A sample of mosquitoes from Washington Township, New Jersey, tested positive for West Nile Virus and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), according to local officials. It's the first sample to ever test positive for EEE in Warren County.

Basically, these mosquitoes could potentially kill you.
==================================================
Don't worry about contracting ebola virus. EEE can kill you & there is no antidote or other effective treatment.

Take up reading lengthy books, like 'War & Peace', 'Gone with the Wind.' or Gibbon's 'Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire'.

I prefer Repel Max (40% DEET) but agree that taking precautions beats staying inside all summer (which is most of the year where I live).

Mosquitoes are the number one killer of humans.
Don’t go outside.
