CONFUSED ABOUT INSECT REPELLENTS? What You Should Know
About DEET Before Choosing Repellent and How to Safely Protect
Yourself and Your Children From Insects and the Diseases They
Carry. News reports of mosquitoes harboring the Eastern equine
encephalitis (EEE) virus alarmed much of Rhode Island and parts
of southern Massachusetts last fall. People stayed indoors during
early evening hours, canceled late afternoon outdoor sporting
events, opened schools an hour later in the mornings, and kept
children indoors during recesses. Given EEE's mortality rate of
50 to 60 percent, such precautions were not unwarranted, even
though the disease is extremely rare, with only 152 cases
reported in the US since 1964.
