Thank you, Senator Ritchie, for

making sure that our ‘Moo’ didn’t

die without something positive for

Oswego County coming as a result.

FIGHT THE BITE TIPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM EEEFrom Senator Patty Ritchie 

and Oswego County Health Department

“EEE is one of the most severe mosquito-transmitted diseases.”US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Use insect repellent containing DEET,

picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.Always follow all directions and precautions onthe product label.

Wear long-sleeves and pants.Mosquitoes can bite through thin clothing.Spraying repellent on clothes can help.

Be aware of peak mosquito hours.Dusk to dawn are peak biting hours, but somemosquitoes bite all day. Consider staying indoors

when mosquitoes are most active.

Fix your screens.Mosquitoes can enter your home throughrips and tears in screens and open windows.

Drain standing water.Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing waterin fl ower pots, buckets, bird baths, cloggedgutters and yard debris.

 The best protection from EEE is to keep mosquitoes from biting you.EEE is a virus spread by mosquitoes that, while rare, is almost always fatal to humans.

 There is no human vaccine to prevent EEE, so the best way to stop it is to protect yourself from disease-carrying mosquitoes.

Special Informationfor Horse Owners

EEE can infect humans, but it is much more

common in horses, and has resulted in

deaths of dozens of horses in Central

New York in recent years. While

there is not yet a human vaccinefor EEE, there is for horses.

Ask your veterinarian about

the EEE vaccine for your horses.

Senator Patty Ritchie is working to stop EEEFollowing the death of 4-year-old Maggie Sue Wilcox from EEE, Senator Ritchie has been leading

the effort to raise awareness of the disease and find ways to stop its spread.Secured nearly a half million dollars to help Oswego

County’s fight against EEE

Removed over 2,000 mosquito-breeding waste tires

last summer, with a special state grant

Provided funding for low-cost vaccine for thousands

of horses

Launched educational program aimed at school

children and families, warning of the dangers of EEEWorked with health experts to urge more research

into a human vaccination
