Health Department AdvisesProtecting from Mosquitoes

 Maximize your outdoor fun thissummer by protecting yourself,
your family and pets againstmosquitoes. The Pasadena 
Public Health Departmentadvises you to clean up, coverup and use bug repellant to helpfight the bite.

 As of Tuesday, there havebeen no reported human casesof mosquito-borne diseases 
including Zika, West Nile, 
Chikungunya and Denguefever in Pasadena this year.
While that’s good news locally,
California’s drought and travelplans outside of Pasadena canincrease your chances of beingbitten by a mosquito, and 
possibly contracting one of thesediseases, if precautions are nottaken.

 “There are some easy thingsyou can to do to help preventmosquito bites,” Pasadena PublicHealth Officer Dr. Ying-YingGoh said. “Clean up habitatswhere mosquitoes can breed andgrow; cover up by wearing longpants and long-sleeved shirtswhen weather permits, and usebug repellant.” 

Some mosquito eggs can survivewithout water and drought cyclesof heat and intermittent moisture 
can actually spur mosquitobreeding, said Dr. Goh, whooffers the following tips andreminders.

 Around the home: 
Eliminate all outdoor sources of 
standing waterUse a scrub brush and hot soapywater to clean unused, outdoor 
containers you intend to keep,
such as tires, buckets and flower 
pots, that have had standingwater in them; then turn over 
those unused containers to 
prevent new standing water fromaccumulating insideKeep swimming pools clean 

and water circulating; keep filterequipment in good repairCheck for larvae in ornamental 
water sources and treat as 
necessary with “mosquito dunks”
available from hardware stores 
Change bird bath water everyfive (5) daysKeep ornamental & fish pondsstocked with mosquito fish; use apump to keep water movingScreen and cover rain barrels

 At home and when traveling:
Wear repellants containingDEET or oil of lemon eucalyptusIf possible, wear long-sleevedshirts and long pants whenoutdoors, as conditions permitRegularly check yourself for bugsand bites if outdoors for longperiodsMake sure your hotel or lodginghas air conditioning and window 
screens 
Check window screens for holes 
or tears

 West Nile, Chikungunya andDengue are not contagiousfrom person to person and arespread through mosquito bites.
Although primarily transmittedby mosquitoes, Zika virus can betransmitted by sexual partners.
Pregnant women or women 
who may become pregnantshould take precautions againstZika infection because a Zika 
infection is now known to cause 
birth defects.

 The U.S. Centers for Disease 
Control & Prevention 
recommends pregnant womenpostpone travel to areas withongoing Zika virus issues. If youreturn from an affected regionand experience fever with jointpain or rash within two weeksfollowing your return, contactyour doctor immediately. For

diseases, visit www.cdc.gov/
