CBS Television leads local sources for gallinipper mosquito announcements that have appeared in several places in Florida after a warning from the University of Florida that there may be a massive outbreak of this mosquito this summer. .

According to scientist Anthony Pelaez of the Tampa Museum of Science and Technology, when the mosquito bites this mosquito, it feels very painful, like a stabbing stab. Gallinipper mosquitoes are often aggressive, attacking people day and night.

Gallinipper mosquitoes survive due to the wet environment from heavy rains, which have had rapid growth conditions due to storm Debby last year. Typhoon Andrea continues to cause rain to make many mosquitoes appear in this area, including gallinipper.
