Eric Benson, an extension entomologist at Clemson University, discusses the prevalence of mosquitoes in South Carolina, noting that while there's no specific data indicating an increase this year, warm weather and rainfall support their numbers. The most common species in the area is the Asian Tiger Mosquito, which bites during the day and early morning/evening. Mosquitoes are attracted to certain blood types, body temperatures, odors, and darker colors like red and black.

"South Carolina Officials Issue Avian Flu Warning for Backyard Poultry Following Major Bird Die-Off"

Clemson University animal health officials issued a warning after a major bird die-off in Horry and Orangeburg counties in South Carolina due to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) contracted by backyard flocks. The remaining infected poultry were depopulated to prevent the virus from spreading to other flocks and jeopardizing the state’s poultry industry. Owners of backyard poultry and pet waterfowl are urged to keep their birds away from wild waterfowl and waterways frequented by them. HPAI is highly contagious to birds but considered low risk to human health, and strict biosecurity measures are recommended to prevent further spread.
