NORTH CAROLINA — 

A new mosquito-transmitted virus for which there is no known cure has spread to four states, including North Carolina.

The Center for Disease Control is worried it could soon become as prevalent in the United States as the West Nile virus.

There have been 41 reported cases in the United States so far. Florida has been the hardest hit area, and other cases have been reported in Tennessee and Rhode Island.

“There’s no vaccine for it, there’s nothing else you can really do but avoid mosquito bites,” said Ture Carleson with the Memphis and Shelby County Vector Control.

More than a dozen Caribbean nations are dealing with an estimated 100,000 cases. Travelers from those countries are bringing it to the United States.

The symptoms begin three to seven days after the mosquito bite and usually last for one week. They include fever, headache, rash and severe joint pain in the hands and feet.

Well we went to go look at a kitten tonight in Gastonia. Which is a poo hole btw, never spent much time there. Anyways me and my son got bit like 10-15 times. I wasn't expecting to be outside, but they brought the kittens out instead of us going in. 

 

edit: I now have a bottle of off in my car. God I hope we don't get this.

Get a pro to come out and spray. Then pay attention to water/puddles etc for them to breed. Use a small fan on your deck to disrupt them flying. And maybe use repellent. But never ever use Deet over 30.

I buy Spectricide for my backyard you hook to your water hose and spray everything down it does stop many flying insects. I couldn't come outside last year till I bought it and now I can enjoy me backyard.

Know what's funny? You do that and it goes right in the ground water but no one raises an eyebrow

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
