Mild winters may shift spread of mosquito-borne illness

As you all know it has been a very mild winter this year and because of that, there was not much snow that fell so by there not being any snow there is going to be very little wash out.  in the past few years it has snowed quit a bit here in Saskatchewan and as spring came along and the snow melted and created little pools of water, in these little pools of water mosquito's migrated,and because there was so many little pools of water there was many mosquito's last year, because there was no snow this year there will be not very many mosquito's.  This fact will affect many people in a good way, there won't be a big need for spraying your self with half the can of mosquito spray when you go out for a walk.  it will also affect us and many animals too for example a bird dies that has a disease, a mosquito's comes along and sucks its blood  that mosquito is now carring the disease and if that mosquito bits you, you could get infected, because there are not going to be that many mosquito's there is a better Chance you will not get sick. this will affect me in because i would stink like mosquito spay.
