NBC CT adds:

Scientists with the state's mosquito testing program say the wet weather we've experienced this summer have led to a big increase in the mosquito population in Connecticut.

The CDC says that most people who have West Nile Virus (8 out of 10) will not show any symptoms. They say "About 1 in 5 people who are infected develop a fever with other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Most people with febrile illness due to West Nile virus recover completely, but fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or months. Serious symptoms in a few people. About 1 in 150 people who are infected develop a severe illness affecting the central nervous system such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord)."

Dude I need my membranes in excellent working order. This is no time in my life for West Nile Virus. Thankfully, I'm not getting chewed up by mosquitoes this year which is unusual for me. I have a theory that mosquitoes love ginger skin, meditate on that.
