TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Floods follow fires, and with all the rain lately, mosquitoes follow monsoon storms. An unusual amount of rain could lead to a big number of mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.The Pima County Health Department traps, counts and identifies mosquitoes around the area and tests them for diseases. They said less than about 1,500 have gone under their microscope this year after trapping.'It's probably about 300-400 less than last year this time,' said Gregg Bustamante, an environmental health technician at PCHD.
