We have dangerous mosquitoes. Will we be invaded by murder hornets in Central Mass too?
The idea that an insect can land a deadly blow to a human with a venomous sting would strike fear in anyone. If you live in Central Mass, you are already familiar with our high populations of potentially deadly mosquitoes. Rare, but deadly diseases, such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis, are spread by a simple mosquito bite. Late last year, Massachusetts had 12 of the 34 reported cases of EEE in the United States, resulting in three deaths.
