Well, it's finally established in the U. S., and it's here to stay. Thankfully it's rarely fatal but it can be extremely painful.
The first cases of local infection of Chikungunya were in Florida but the map below shows its possible range based on the two mosquito vectors that carry it, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, the tiger mosquito.
What kind of mosquito repellent do you use? I favor Deep Woods Off. Bug zappers and citronella candles don't work.

No bug spray. I'm more afraid of DEET and other shite they put in that stuff long term than I am mosquitoes.

Thought this was a new racist term.
