TextWhat's Bugging You? Mosquitoes and Ticks
In the spring of 2011, the Health Department's Disease Carrying Insects Program released its latest educational tool for children . The book, titled What's bugging You? Mosquitoes and Ticks, tells the story of how "Carl" learns about preventing West Nile virus and Lyme disease from "Professor James" while playing in his own back yard.
This book helps to explain to young people why they should prevent bites from these bugs. The story illustrates where mosquitoes and ticks come from, when they bite, how West Nile virus and Lyme disease affect people, discusses the different types of mosquitoes and ticks, how to protect yourself from bites, how to limit mosquitoes and ticks in your own yard, and much more.
