"Mosquitoes Are Worse This Summer in Parts Of US" [1]

"The tiny mosquito all too often has man on the run. And this summer, it seems even worse than usual."



"'You can't get from the car to inside our house without getting attacked, it's that bad,' high school teacher Ryan Miller said from his home in Arlington, Va. Minutes earlier, he saw a mosquito circling his 4-month-old daughter — indoors.

Experts say it's been a buggier-than-normal summer in many places around the U.S. because of a combination of drought, heavy rain and heat."

Seth Borenstein reports for the Associated Press August 20, 2013. [2]
