Tick and mosquito-borne infections have been on the rise in the U.S. for the past few years, and this summer is going to be an exceptionally bad one, The New York Times is reporting. Best load up on bug repellent sooner rather than later, warns the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The infectious disease industry calls diseases like Lyme Disease and Zika Virus – that is, diseases that you get through bites, as in bug bites – “vector-borne,” and boy they have been on the rise here in the States in the past few years, says Dr. Lyle R. Petersen.
“The numbers on some of these diseases have gone to astronomical levels.”
