I'm in Sarasota County, but about 15mi. from where the malaria "outbreak" has happened. But it's on the news every night. The County mosquito control people don't seem worried at all about "oh, we've ramped up spraying, we know how to eradicate this". Health authorities say it's not a virulent strain of malaria, either. All the people who were infected have been treated and sent home.

I'm just being extra vigilant about using my Mosquito Dunks and Bits in all the pot saucers, gutters and anywhere a puddle occurs when it rains. But it really hasn't rained much here at all lately. Wearing repellent whenever I go out, too.
