FishermanTim Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 How will you protect yourself from this latest onslaught? (short of just staying home, that is...) I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy monday Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Once it shows up I stay out of the woods and at my camp I skip the "mosquito hatch" at 8:45 and drink on the screen porch instead. I've seen it up close and it's probably an overreaction but I won't take the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdowning Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 the only good news is its extremely rare to contract eee. west nile much more common. but still wise to take precautions. Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teambeefmaster Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Confirmed case of EEE down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailslap Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Last human case in Mass was 2013 I believe but that’s not to say we won’t have any this year. I live right near the hot zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malsow Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 A woman just died in Fairhaven. I believe it was the 4th confirmed case of EEE. I know it has been detected in Bourne and Woods Hole and as far as I'm aware there has been no spraying. Sections of Wareham have been sprayed twice. EEE has a 50% mortality rate. Most who survive will experience lifelong neurological effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jettyjockey18 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 just read an article about a Middleboro man who passed away this year after contracting EEE 9 years ago during a camping trip to Wareham... from the article, it's a chitty way to go...

z-man Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 They have done aerial spraying in Bristol county. My town, Norton got sprayed a couple nights ago. A goat in town has EEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malsow Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think more should be done. The Cape has not been sprayed at all. Why risk it? That EEE is no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesticides have a bullseye on their back just look at the massive law suits with the Roundup (glyphosate) claims. I think municipalities don't want to have the liability. I also think the voting public especially in woke MA are opposed to wide spread sprays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
