A rare but deadly disease spread by mosquitoes has one town in Massachusetts closing its parks and fields each evening. Four other towns are urging people to avoid going outdoors at night.
They’re concerned about eastern equine encephalitis. State health officials announced last week a man in his 80s had caught the disease, the first human case found in Massachusetts since 2020.
At night? Mosquitos are mostly active at dusk. And dawn. Not night.
You have no idea how uncannily appropriate that particular image is for you to have shared with me.
