A Middleborough Mass boy named John Fontaine died yesterday from a fatal mosquito bite. The bite was eastern equine encephalitis. I don't really know what that is but it's a highly poisonous virus according to what I read.
This just sickens me that a child the same age as Jason who was perfectly healthy ends up dead from a mosquito bite.

That just makes me so sad to learn of such things. You end up thinking that youre just not safe anywhere. Mosquitos are absolutely useless what do they do but spread disease anyway?
Poor little guy.

Mosquitos love me for some reason. No matter the time of day or weather, I can get bitten whenever in the summer. Maybe it's because I'm so sweet. ;D

This is so terrible.
It's terrible enough that Steve Irwin got killed. But at least he was a grown man who chose to take his chances this is just depressing.
