As the weather warms up, watch out for harmful cyanobacteria blooms - commonly known as blue-green algae.

Blooms usually appear in mid-to-late summer in streams, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. They can pose a health risk to people and animals.

Learn more about current advisories and how to report a bloom at Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

As the weather warms up - a reminder to protect yourself from West Nile Virus.

It only takes one bite to get infected, but simple steps can keep you and your family safe this summer:
🛡️ Repel: Use EPA-approved insect repellent (like DEET, picaridin, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus).
👕 Cover Up: Wear loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and pants outdoors.
⏰ Timing: avoid outdoor activities during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
🚰 Drain: Empty standing water around your home (gutters, flowerpots, toys) to stop them from breeding.
🪟 Defend: Ensure window and door screens are tightly fitted to keep bugs out.

Most WNV infections don't show symptoms, but 1 in 5 people can experience fever and body aches. Severe illness is rare but can be serious, especially for those over 55 or with chronic health conditions.

As summer heats up, wild animals become more active. The Wyoming Department of Health has confirmed the first rabid bat of the year (found in a residential backyard in Sheridan County).

Four steps to stay safe:
1️⃣ Keep pet vaccinations up to date.
2️⃣ Never touch or feed wild or stray animals.
3️⃣ Wash any animal bite immediately with soap and warm water, then seek medical advice.
4️⃣ If you wake up with a bat in your room, contact a healthcare provider immediately - bat bites can be microscopic!
