Here's a connection I would have never
made on my own:
There are 9672 homes for sale in California's mosquito-plagued Sacramento and Yolo counties. Around 1400 have swimming pools. Many of them are not being properly maintained while they sit on the market, and mosquitos are beginning to breed in their algae-infested waters like, well, flies. This is raising fears of a particularly virulent West Nile season.
In a million years, I don't think I would have thought, "Boy, this crappy housing market is going to be a boon for the Anopheles Mosquito."
Don't mean to be pedantic but I think the concern is Culex mosquitos. Anopheles is a malaria vector.
ReplyDeleteGood catch, by the way. Who would have thought?
