How lovely: The NYC Department of Health is going to send out trucks to spray pesticides in parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn next week to reduce mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile Virus.

"The Health Department will use very low concentrations of Anvil 10+10, Duet or MERUS 3. The risks of pesticides applied by the Health Department for mosquito control are low to people and pets. Some people who are sensitive to spray ingredients may experience short-term eye or throat irritation, or a rash. People with respiratory conditions may also be affected."
