Mosquitos

Mosquitos are a constant threat during the warm weather months in Missouri. They're also more dangerous than you think sometimes carrying a multitude of diseases. Did you know there are certain colors that experts say will either attract or repel them?

I was born and raised in Missouri and have lived in the Show Me State most of my life and I can attest to the fact that my people talk a lot. I mean that as a compliment. However, there are a number of things you will never ever hear a Missouri person say. This is just the start of phrases you'll rarely if ever hear uttered within our borders.

It happens every year, but it doesn't make in any less harrowing. Soon, the greatest killer in the world will begin its trek back toward Missouri and its arrival is just 2 short months away now.

I have a hard time understanding how such a tiny creature can be so dangerous, but it's true. When it comes to overall numbers of lives taken, no one species on Earth has been more responsible than this one. Fortunately, they're about to leave Missouri again - for now.

It's the time of year when mosquitos thrive in our part of America. No surprise then that these nasty bugs have been reported in Illinois with 2 counties now confirmed to have mosquitos with West Nile virus.

We all have one common enemy in Missouri. The small but mighty mosquito. If these little critters are driving you mad with their blood-sucking ways, a new study says you might want to consider including a certain element in whatever soap you use.

By far the most dangerous creature on Earth is back with a vengeance in Missouri. No, it's not black bears, black widow spiders or even Mo-Mo. What's more dangerous than Mo-Mo? It's the critter that kills more people every single year than any other living creature and the problem is worse in Missouri than just about any other place.

I tried to guess and got this completely wrong and there's a good chance you might also. What do you think the most deadly creature in Missouri is? The answer is surprising and it's the same for the entire world, too.
