UNDATED (WKZO) -- Health officials in West Michigan are suggesting that you avoid mosquitoes after three horses were diagnosed with Eastern Equine Encephalitis. one each in Barry, Calhoun and Cass counties with more suspected cases out there.

It’s probably good advice for everyone because we are also coming into the West Nile Virus season as well. You should know the drill, use repellants with deet, wear long sleeves, and avoid areas where the bugs are breeding. Triple-E in humans is rare, but it does happen and can be permanently debilitating and even fatal. There is no treatment.
