Mosquitoes

The CDC has issued a warning as an illness spreads through Illinois.

Other than egg production, mosquitoes might be drawn to you way more than others for many different reasons.

I don't know about you, but I really hate mosquitoes. It feels like they're always targeting me more than anyone else when I'm outside.

Get ready to break out the bug spray in Illinois—this summer's mosquito season is not one we want to remember.

One of the only downsides of summer are bugs coming back out, particularly mosquitoes.

I can't remember being swarmed like this by mosquitoes ever before.

The disease is spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes.

Ah, mosquitoes, the tiny vampires of the insect world. With summer coming in hot and heavy in Illinois, we know the skeeters will be out for blood.

While we complain about the cold, and the lingering winter-like conditions, we may be forgetting that at least frigid Northern Illinois weather keeps the bugs away...for the most part.

It's pretty clear that Chicago is on a roll this year when it comes to having annoying, biting, or bloodsucking pests in abundance (and in elected office). I'm just not sure that this is the kind of thing Chicago's tourism folks would want to brag about.
