With storm drains already overflowing, officials are warning residents and visitors to avoid flooded roads and stay out of the water when possible.<\/p>\n
5. Free mosquito prevention kits available next week<\/p>\n
Mosquito season is getting worse, and recent rains are expected to create even more breeding grounds.<\/p>\n
To help residents protect themselves, the City\/County Public Health District will host five drive-thru mosquito awareness events next week. Free prevention kits will include mosquito dunks, insect repellent and educational materials.<\/p>\n
Kits are limited to one per household and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.<\/p>\n
6. Nasal spray recalled over contamination concerns<\/p>\n
A voluntary recall has been issued for Beekeeper’s Naturals saline nasal spray because of possible yeast and mold contamination.<\/p>\n
The affected product was sold through Amazon and carries lot number 59-50 with an expiration date of February 2028.<\/p>\n
According to the Food and Drug Administration, people with weakened immune systems or lung conditions could face a higher risk of serious illness if they use the recalled spray.
