Bug repellent a good idea for outings

Compiled from Centers for Disease Control (CDC) information.
 
There is more reason now than ever before to think about insect repellent before heading for an outing.
Texans may have grown up thinking of mosquito bites as an itchy irritation, but they have emerged as much more of a health risk for diseases they can spread.
The health risks of mosquitos to humans and animals come through the transmission of diseases like the West Nile virus (WNV), the Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and the dengue virus that causes Dengue Fever.
