Mosquitoes: Even if you haven't seen them yet, they're here! And they can bring more than irritated, itchy skin with them. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) recently found West Nile Virus in birds and mosquitoes (no human cases yet this year). The virus spreads through mosquito bites, and usually does not create any symptoms, but can cause fever, chills, headaches, rashes, and more severe reactions in vulnerable populations.
So, is now the time to lock yourself inside until fall (or after there is a hard frost of temperatures below 28° for at least 4 straight hours)? Not necessarily!
A few things you can do to keep these unwelcome guests away:
• Use a good bug spray, something with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535.
• Wear long sleeves, long pants, and socks so they can't get to your skin.
• When not in use, empty kiddie pools, buckets, small boats, and containers with standing water.
• Make sure your window and door screens are tight and have no holes.

The particles from wildfire smoke can cause a variety of symptoms, from mild eye and throat irritation to more severe heart and lung concerns. The best way to prevent breathing particles from wildfire smoke is to stay indoors.
* Close windows and doors.
*Run A/C on recirculate with a new high-efficiency filter.
*Keep indoor air clean by:
✅Avoiding activities that increase indoor air pollution, such as vacuuming, burning candles, frying foods or using gas appliances.
✅Reducing airborne dust by using a damp cloth to dust the home and trap the particles rather than a dry cloth or duster that might make them airborne again.
✅Use an indoor air purifier.

Smoke from the wildfires in Canada and Minnesota is impacting air quality across our region. While poor air quality affects everyone, certain groups face higher health risks — including children, teens, older adults, pregnant people, individuals with asthma or heart and lung conditions, and those who work or spend extended time outdoors.
To help you make safe decisions for yourself, your family, and your community, here are trusted resources with up‑to‑date guidance:

Smoke from wildfires to the north has been progressing southward today and will continue to impact the area over the next few days. Air quality and visibility will be impacted. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Advisory due to the air quality impacts.

Heat advisories are in effect for our area this week. Stay cool by staying in the shade if outdoors, or using air conditioning if indoors. Visit a local establishment such as a library or mall for cooling if needed. Remember to stay hydrated and check on vulnerable friends and neighbors! https://loom.ly/cCepqVA
