Health Tip: Keep Mosquitoes at Bay (HealthDay News) -- Mosquito bites can be more than just an itchy annoyance; they can transmit diseases such as West Nile Virus. Suggestions how to help prevent mosquito bites: ■ As standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, promptly eliminate any standing water around your home. ■ Stay indoors during the times when mosquitoes are most active, notably at dusk and dawn. ■ Use an insect repellent that protects against mosquitoes, such as those that include DEET, IR-3535, oil of lemon, eucalyptus or picaridin. ■ Check window screens to make sure they do not need repair.
