Hey, angels! Just a little PSA for all my fellow Bostonians; someone in the state tested positive for EEE (which is a disease contracted by a mosquito infected with EEE). It can cause inflammation of the brain, seizures, and in some serious cases it can kill ya'. A third of people that develop the disease die and I'm not saying that to scare anyone, but this is the first time in MA since 2013 that there has been a confirmed EEE virus, so just letting all my Boston babies know to stay safe, wear some sort of bug spray, and kill those little fuckers
