Greetings Hipsters! We hope you've been bitten by our bug. Now that we're spending more time outdoors, we take a closer look at mosquitoes and West Nile Virus. Dr. Doug Garrison (AKA Superman) shares the sources and the symptoms of West Nile Virus and helps us cut through the hype. We also discuss the mosquitoes themselves - covering basics such as life cycle, breeding grounds, prevention, and treatment (if you happen to get bitten by a skeeter).
