With a 35% fatality rate if you contract EEE...I'll take my chances with Deet, and heavy Deet at that! Just not worth the chance, as there's nothing that can be done if you get EEE other than hope you just end up with some of the not so extreme symptoms. I have noticed that the mosquitoes have died down quite a bit as of the last week or so. Just really looking forward to that first freeze.
