Mosquitoes can kill you and according to the Onondaga County Health Department, people should protect themselves from mosquito-associated diseases like Eastern Equine Encephalitis and West Nile virus during the summer time.
Triple-E can be deadly and West Nile virus can cause severe illness. People should watch out for mosquitoes when they go out at night.
"In general, mosquitoes tend to be more prevalent in evening and night-time hours," says Dr. James Jacobs, Syracuse University's director of health services.
The Health Department says people can protect themselves by wearing long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. People can also use mosquito repellant.

Wow, mosquito repellent. Never thought of that. Are those citronella candles a good way to ward off the evil insects?
