Briefly

Researchers are finding that mosquito-borne illnesses are on the rise due to warming temperatures and various factors, making them a growing health concern in many regions.
Dr. Peter Hotez emphasizes the importance of covering up during peak mosquito hours and even develops a unique outfit for effective bite prevention despite the heat.
