A doctor explains how to protect yourself during West Nile, Lyme disease and malaria season.
Welcome to summer in the Northern Hemisphere, with all its fun in the sun – and little critters who want to take a bite out of you. Mosquitoes and ticks can transmit vector-borne illnesses, and they are showing up with greater frequency. What can people do to protect themselves while still enjoying all that the summer months have to offer? And what treatments are available if you or your loved ones get bit? To find out, I spoke with CNN wellness expert Dr. Leana Wen.
CNN: What about mosquitoes? What diseases can they carry? Wen: Mosquitoes can transmit a lot of diseases to humans including the West Nile virus, dengue and malaria. West Nile is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States. While most people with the illness do not become ill, around 1 in 150 infected people develop a serious illness that can be fatal. In 2023, 47 states reported West Nile cases. In total, there were 2,406 reported instances in the US.
