Still rare, but showing up in mosquito populations in the US

30% fatal, and even if you survive you may have disabilities.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Tough to know the real risk. Chances are if you're out every evening getting bit by mosquitos that's the group that should be genuinely concerned. I doubt if most people doing the occasional camping trip have much risk at all.
