The Jackson County Health Department wants you to protect yourself against mosquitoes.
The reminder comes after their first case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis, or EEE, this year.
It just takes a few precautionary measures to keep these insects from becoming a big problem.

They are very small creatures but they can leave a lasting impact on your skin.
Mosquitoes are becoming more present in Jackson County now because of two main factors.
"We had warm weather, we had a lot of rainfall and those are two of the main things mosquitoes need to breed."
Jackson County Environmental Health Director T.G. Harkrider says these insects actually rely more on stagnant water than heat to survive.
Earlier this month, the department received their first mosquito case of EEE, or Eastern Equine Encephalitis, this year.
"EEE is an encephalitic condition. The swelling of the brain, sometimes symptoms exhibit as a stiffness in the neck, headache, that sort of thing."
The case involved a horse in Graceville who died from the disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, EEE is one of the most serious mosquito born viral diseases in the United States.
It usually takes 3-10 days for humans to show symptoms if they are infected.
Last year, the county had seven cases of EEE, all of which involved horses.
Harkrider says they have not had any cases of human infections in several years.
"Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn but if you have to be outside when they're around, health officials encourage you to keep your skin covered and use insect repellent."
Other tips include cleaning out or replacing water in containers and removing anything that prevents water flow.
"We just want to make people aware that it's here. And take the precautionary measures to keep themselves from being bitten."
The health department is also working to develop a county-wide mosquito control program similar to ones like the City of Marianna.
But anything residents and visitors can personally do will help them solve the problem much faster.

Mosquitoes are usually more present between March to November.
