Feel like you've been a magnet for mosquitos recently? You're not alone. The pesky insects are out in force, and it's largely due to the abundant rainfall Southern California has received this year.Susanne Kluh, general manager of the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District, told the Los Angeles Times that Tropical Storm Hilary has been a boon to mosquitos, as they reproduce in standing water."You can imagine how many bottle caps, lawn drains, saucers, toolboxes that weren’t put away are now filled with water — and will be breeding mosquitoes," she told the Times.The large number of mosquitos — including Aedes aegypti, the invasive yellow fever mosquito — poses danger to humans beyond just annoying, itchy bites, Kluh told the San Fernando Valley Sun.Mosquitos can infect people with West Nile virus, and yellow fever mosquitos "are known to spread the Zika virus, chikungunya, dengue fever, and, as their name would suggest, yellow fever," the Sun reports.
