ILLINOIS (RFD) — It’s been buggy. Gnats and mosquitoes this year in Illinois have come on strong in most areas. The Department of Health says those gnats are really annoying. Dr. Ngozi Ezike says buffalo gnats aren’t a health risk but they sure can ruin an outdoor event.

The only good news right now is that the most popular mosquitoes being found are floodwater ones. They aren’t the variety that carries West Nile.
