‘A living hell’: how Los Angeles got taken over by mosquitoes

NO BUT ACTUALLY THOUGH LOS ANGELES IS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL BLUE SKIES AND FILM PREMIERES BUT NOW IT IS OFFICIALLY THE MOST MOSQUITO INFESTED CITY IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THIS YEAR HAS BEEN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE FUEL ACCORDING TO THE GUARDIAN! APPARENTLY A COMBINATION OF INTENSE HEATWAVES AND AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL EL NIÑO HAS TURNED THE CITY INTO A TOTAL LIVING HELL! PEOPLE ARE SWARMING OUTSIDE AND GETTING EATEN ALIVE WHILE TRYING TO EAT DINNER ON PATIOS AND THE WEST NILE VIRUS CASES ARE AT A DECADE HIGH WHICH IS TERRIFYING! IT IS NOT EVEN GETTING COLD ENOUGH AT NIGHT TO STOP THEM SO LOCAL AUTHORITIES HAVE LITERALLY NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT AND THE WHOLE THING IS JUST SPREADING DENGUE FEVER RISKS TOO. OK ENOUGH, WHERE ARE YOUR FRIENDS?

OMG WAIT DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS LOS ANGELES IS BASICALLY BEING TAKEN OVER BY CLOUDS OF MOSQUITOES AND IT IS HONESTLY A HUGE VIBE KILLER! THE ARTICLE SAYS THAT HEAT AND HUMIDITY ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS BEING THE WORST MOSQUITO YEAR IN RECENT HISTORY! PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY POSTING TIKTOKS ABOUT HOW INSANE THE SWARMS ARE IN THEIR BACKYARDS AND IT IS SUPER GROSS BECAUSE WEST NILE VIRUS IS HITTING A DECADE HIGH RIGHT NOW! SINCE THE TEMPERATURES ARE STAYING ABOVE FIFTY DEGREES AT NIGHT AND MORE MOISTURE IS COMING IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE NOT LEAVING ANYTIME SOON. THEY ARE EVEN WORRIED ABOUT DENGUE SHOWING UP FROM TRAVELERS! IT IS JUST ONE HUGE BUG PARTY AND NOBODY WAS INVITED EXCEPT THE BUGS. ANYWAY I AM CHOOSING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT IT.

Los Angeles is experiencing a record-breaking mosquito infestation driven by heatwaves and El Niño, leading to a spike in West Nile virus cases and concerns about other diseases.
