Louisa Messenger (Environmental and Occupational Health) was interviewed by KTNV Channel 13 about "Vets reminding pet owners about heartworm risks as more mosquitoes show up across Southern Nevada."
Messenger explains that in the last few years, Las Vegas has seen a massive uptick in mosquitoes, partially due to the weather.
The segment discusses how these insects can also attack your pets and cause heartworm from a bite, so taking preventative measures is a good idea.
