With summer here, that usually means lots of mosquitoes. And now, the City of Amarillo’s Public Health department has received confirmation that the Zika virus is here.
The City of Amarillo is beginning a program called "Mission Mosquitoes" to help alert the public to the dangers of getting bitten by mosquitoes.
Every year there is a fear of mosquitoes. They bite you and leave you itching for days, but this year the fear is for a far more serious reason. The West Nile Virus has been spreading throughout the state and is expected to get worse.
