24. Louisiana – Mosquito
Louisiana’s humid climate makes it a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes—tiny but deadly insects responsible for transmitting dangerous diseases like West Nile virus, Zika, and dengue fever. Their bites are more than just an itchy nuisance. The risk of severe illness or even death is highest during warm months when mosquito populations peak. Mosquitoes breed in standing water and are most active at dawn and dusk. To protect yourself, wear long sleeves, use insect repellent with DEET, and eliminate water collection spots around your home. Installing window screens and using mosquito nets can help indoors. Public health efforts often involve spraying insecticides to reduce outbreaks.
