Beware of these striking blue Portuguese Man-of-Wars that have been spotted washing up on Southwest Florida beaches! 🌊 Their tentacles pack a venomous punch that delivers intense painful stings. Even if they are washed up on the beach and are dead they can still sting you if touched. 😣

Stay safe while swimming and keep your kiddos at a safe distance! They might look squishy and cute, but touching them could lead to some unpleasant consequences.

Heads up Charlotte County residents! The Florida Department of Health (DOH) issued a statewide mosquito-borne illness advisory following four confirmed and recovered local cases of malaria in Sarasota County. All individuals have been treated and have recovered.

Malaria is transmitted through infected mosquitoes, so it's crucial to take precautions. Here's what you need to do to protect yourself and your loved ones:
☑ Apply bug spray and keep it handy. 🦟
☑ Avoid areas with high mosquito populations. 🚫🦟
☑ Wear long pants and shirts, especially during sunrise and sunset when mosquitoes are most active. 👕👖

Rest assured, the Department is working closely with local partners and county mosquito control to tackle the issue. Aerial and ground mosquito spraying is being conducted in the affected areas to minimize the risk of further transmission.

In Florida, Malaria is transmitted through infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The cause of malaria in these cases has been identified as the Plasmodium vivax species. Effective treatment is readily available through hospitals and other health care providers. Individuals in this area with symptoms of fever, chills, sweats, nausea/vomiting, and headache should seek immediate medical attention.

Remember the 3 D's of Mosquito Bite Prevention!
​Drain​ - Empty out containers around the yard at least once a week! Put holes into containers that regularly hold water to allow them to drain. Check and clean out gutters. Flush out or treat birdbaths and bromeliads.

Dress - Wear appropriate clothing during mosquito season and at the peak hours of dawn and dusk. Long sleeves and long pants are recommended, as well as wearing light-colored clothing which is less likely to attract mosquitoes than darker colors.

Defend - Wear an EPA approved repellent and reapply according to the label. Approved repellents include those containing DEET, Picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

Just a reminder, everyone:
🗣The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office will never call you asking for money to resolve an issue. We have been hearing that these calls are going around again, usually from someone claiming to be "Lt. James Perry" from CCSO. Although we are honored that someone wishes so badly that they could be part of our family, we do not have a Lt. James Perry, and this is a scam.
Please hang up and NEVER provide financial information to anyone you do not know. When in doubt, call the company using their published customer service phone number to verify. ✅

1. Scammer calls businesses and individuals claiming to be with FPL and threatening to shut off your power if you don't pay up.
