War on Dengue Mosquitoes


'Rain brings many benefits to Baja California Sur, but it also fuels the spread of dengue-carrying mosquitoes.

The state Health Department announced that spraying will begin Tuesday in La Paz to combat the disease that has recently caused 105 cases statewide, 82 of them in the capital.

“On Tuesday we will begin fogging in La Paz, and we will announce it through social media,” said State Health Secretary Ana Luisa Guluarte.''

US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Dengue was what kickstarted several years of declining health for George Bergin ("Osprey" here on BN). I was fortunate enough to meet him just before the rains from Hurricane Odile brought out the mosquitoes. A true nature lover, he would often sleep outside on his back porch, eschewing the air conditioner even on hot nights. He had made up his mind not to go back to the U.S. for treatment, basically sealing his love for Mexico with a decision to stay no matter what. Thankfully his stories remain. His was a life well lived.

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals in the world.

Get repellent with DEET if they're around.

Remember jrbaja's campaign to collect and take DEET and OFF etc. down to Baja Sur? I brought several cans to JR's home south of Rosarito gee, over 20 years ago, now!

I too was fortunate to meet Osprey at his home in La Ribera, back in 2017. He was a gifted writer and gave my missions book a nice review, which is on the back cover.
