We heard the mosquito sprayer truck pass by this week.
The big picture: Mosquito-borne diseases are on the rise, partially due to global warming.
Last year, Louisiana reported 53 human cases of West Nile virus, according to the CDC. Two were in New Orleans metro.
No West Nile-positive mosquitoes have been detected so far this year in Orleans Parish, according to the city's Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board.
