Cities America are spraying chemicals through their streets in response to a rise in several deadly mosquito-borne illnesses, in an unprecedented move.
Massachusetts, New York, Texas and California are among the states deploying pesticides to repel the increasingly disease-ridden insects.
The decision comes on the heels of an onslaught of mosquito-borne illnesses throughout the US, including West Nile Virus, which hospitalized White House Covid doctor Anthony Fauci this month, 'Triple E', a brain-swelling disease that has killed two Americans so far this year, and 'sloth fever', a disease transmitted from sloths to mosquitos.
Officials are spraying the streets at night when people are less likely to be outside to reduce residents' exposure to the chemicals, which can be harmful to breathe in or ingest. The doses will also be 'ultra-low volume'.
Other areas have taken equally drastic measures, including imposing curfews to limit people's exposure to mosquito bites.
A number of Americans have died from mosquito-borne illnesses this year, including a New Hampshire man who died from EEE earlier this month. It was the state's first human case in 10 years.
In Massachusetts, towns in southern Worcester County and Plymouth County have taken an aggressive approach to fighting mosquito-borne illness this month after an 80 year old man from Worcester County caught EEE - the state's first human case since 2020.
EEE is a rare but serious virus that spreads to humans via infected mosquito bites. It causes swelling in the brain, and roughly 30 percent of infected people do not survive.
To curb the spread of this virus, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health will spray the pesticide Anvil 10+10 from trucks and planes overnight, starting shortly after dusk and ending in the early morning.

Gates’ skeeters?
Public Health (Tyranny) strikes again!
These people are the classic embodiment of hubris...AND tyranny.
The CDC hasn't done anything useful since the 1940s ... back when they gassed neighborhoods with DDT. :)
Oops! The CDC removed their page on that. That would be in the last two years since I first drafted that post.
I had West Nile ten years ago. Flu-like symptoms.
I knew there was a reason Fauci pretended to have West Nile virus, to whip up a frenzy to vaccinate and fumigate against it.
And if he really did have it, he got it from visiting one of his virus gain-of-function laboratories.
Idiots got DDT banned. Millions died.
DDT trucks spraying our neighborhoods was regularly done in Houston in the 1950s and I can’t remember if they were still doing it in the early 60s.
They were fog trucks and the kids loved chasing the truck and being invisible in the ‘smoke”.
Yup, that works great. I don’t trust the government to “spray down the state” with unknown chemicals
Unprecedented? They used to spray for skeeters all the time when I was a kid in Massachusetts.
I recall getting heavily gassed in my basement bedroom one summer night as my window-well window was open. That had to be 1970 or later as I didn’t move downstairs until I was at least 15.
FWIW it gave me a heck of a headache.
I remember the foggers from the ‘60s in Kansas. The C-130s spraying at Homestead in the ‘80s were much worse.
See the kids trying to survive? That one kid has grabbed a shovel and is trying to dig a foxhole and the other is so dazed already that he is running in the wrong direction to escape.
I remember being in the town of Vale, OR in 1974 when they were spraying from airplanes. Don’t know if it was DDT or some other pesticide.
Probably laying thin-shelled eggs, even today.
Were the C-130s spraying DDT or something else?
Cone Head kids for everyone.
