Wear These Colors in Wisconsin If You Want to Be Eaten by Mosquitos

Mosquito season is upon us!

Mosquitos can carry multiple serious diseases like chikungunya virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, malaria, and several others, according to the Center for Disease Control.

According to reports, peak mosquito season in Wisconsin is May to September. However, they can remain active right up until the temperatures plummet to below freezing.

So, right now, we are in the thick of it.

And it's worse in Wisconsin this summer....

Due to the warmer temperatures this year all throughout the Midwest, mosquitos are set to have even more months to live, thrive, and generally annoy us.

We want to make sure that you avoid them as best you can this summer.

What Colors Should You Avoid?

One of the most common of the mosquito species reportedly flies towards the following colors:

• Red
• Orange
• Black
• Cyan

If you are like me and aren't too sure what exactly cyan is, it's aquamarine or a sort of blue green.

So, does this have you reassessing your summer wardrobe like me?

I have absolutely no clue what I'll be able to wear this summer!
