An example of the sissyfication of America. We used to kill of the mosquitos, now we are told to hide from them.

Sounds to me that the best thing that could happen to you Dave is to be bit by a mosquito and to through what Melissa had to go through. What a non-feeling person you are. How sad.

Gee, Dave, I didn't see the part about hiding. I read something about putting on repellent and then enjoying the outdoors. Where'd you get that?

Melissa Dimond, seen with her husband, Blake, suffered meningal encephalitis — the most severe form of West Nile virus. The Dimonds hope their story encourages others to keep themselves safe from mosquitoes.
