Team Fitness Gurus No. 31: West Nile Virus

Outdoor sports and long walks require being observant of weather patterns and neighborhood safety, but it also requires being mindful about insects such as mosquitoes. For example the CDC  cautions about outdoor activity and the dangers of the West Nile Virus with this slogan:

Love Sports! Afternoon games? Whether you’re out there watching or playing, make mosquito repellent part of your uniform (CDC, 2012).
