The infections detected so far were of pheasants, horses and a wild turkey. Fortunately, no humans.
Governor Tom Wolf recommends those outdoors to use DEET-containing insect repellents and cover exposed skin with lightweight clothing.
Symptoms of EEE appear within 3-10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito, and consist of a high fever, stiff neck, headache and lack of energy. Inflammation and swelling of the brain can ensue.
In New Jersey, EEE has been detected in 13 counties, and three people have been infected.

No use of any chemicals in Northampton County without the OK from Tara Zirinski. Tara is our resident expert on all things environment related. This inset may or may not need chemicals. I will wait for her determinative investigation..
No chemicals. Mosquitoes are citizens of the planet and have rights. How dare we?
Mosquitoes are in fact a vital food source for bats, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and other insects so yes they should not be eradicated willy nilly because a few city slickers can't tolerate a few nips here and there. The indigenous peoples had many herbal and earthen insect deterrents which are quite effective against mosquitoes, man must walk in harmonious enlightenment with all forms of life or Gaea will punish swiftly.
