True, less rain = less mosquitoes. But yesterday and today, just that little bit north of us they did get rain.

The news story tonight was kind of scary - apparently symptoms of malaria can take weeks or months to show up, so you can get bitten today and not get sick for a long time. But in the meantime you're carrying the parasite around with you, and potentially spreading it.
