Students need to learn how to protect themselves against mosquitoes.
Two easy ways are:
- Use mosquito repellent
- Wear long sleeves and long
pants at dusk and dawn
Why is this important? To avoid West Nile Virus.
Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so by eliminating any standing
water you can cut down on the mosquito population!
