    Dallas County allows aerial spraying for West Nile

    http://www.wral.com/news/national_wo...tory/11417117/


    Texas' second most populous county announced the decision after its leaders met with the state's top health official and experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly 90 cases of the most severe form of West Nile have been confirmed in the county so far, nine residents have died, and the virus' peak season is just beginning.


    Yall be careful in Texas.

    Im not a scientist (shocker ) but I'd guess that there a lot more health benefits to knocking out mosquitos than just the West Nile disease. The more they can get rid of them the better...no one wants to see drug resistant Malaria in the US for example. These are these kinds of things I'm fine with paying taxes for.

    Sometimes I am ok with living in a desert. This is one of those times.

    Eh, once you get into the triples its all the same

    I don't mind the heat, but being stung or bitten while I'm trying to sleep -- that gets me heated, I'll never get used to it

    This was the hottest summer ever recorded going on data based back to only 1880 or so I think
