Officials are pointing the finger at climate change as a Texas town battles with another spring of exploding mosquito populations. 'If you open the car door to go somewhere, you’ve got 10 mosquitoes inside,' Mith Varley, a resident of the Houston suburb of Conroe, Texas, said of the issue, according to a report in the Washington Post. Varley, who has lived in the area of Montgomery County for nearly 10 years, told the Washington Post he has never seen it worse.
Max Vigilant, the director of mosquito and vector control in nearby Harris County, told the Washington Post that sampling so far shows mosquito levels comparable to 2022 and 2023, though it is nearly impossible to fully count the mosquito population.
The Harris County Public Health Department did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment. Meanwhile, residents continue to battle the problem while attempting to carry on with their daily lives. 'This right here,' Medina told the Washington Post, pointing to a large red welt by his knee. 'This one got me yesterday.'
