Birmingham Public Schools Treat for Mosquitos
With the health and safety of students and the community as a priority, the school district took precautions last weekend to treat five locations. Mosquito treatments took place at Groves and Seaholm high schools, Derby and Berkshire middle schools and Birmingham Covington School as these locations frequently host student activities at dusk when mosquitos are most active. Seven cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis were confirmed on the southwest side of Michigan, including three fatal cases. While no cases have been reported in Oakland County so far, the situation can change swiftly. Treatments included a fog insecticide as well as a larvicide for areas of standing water. More tips and suggestions can be found on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website. Questions around EEE or the status in Oakland County can be directed to the Oakland County Health Division at 800-848-5533 or NOC@oakgov.com.
