Show Notes

Every ⁠⁠conversation⁠⁠ Madisonians have this summer seems to eventually turn to mosquitos. Are they really that bad this year? TL:DR – they are! To find out why, City Cast Madison host Bianca Martin talked to ⁠⁠Lyric Bartholomay⁠⁠, co-director of the ⁠⁠Midwest Center of Excellence for Vector-Borne Disease⁠⁠. They dig into this season’s swarms, long-term trends with mosquitos, the threat of disease, and safety precautions you can take.
