Mosquitoes are bad this year, and every one I've smacked is small....like "those" are.

Sketchy information - possible interpretations of the information provided:

1. Person who contracted it lives in Lantana and was bitten in Lantana.
2. Person who contracted it lives in Lantana but was bitten somewhere outside of Lantana.
3. Person who contracted it doesn't live in Lantana, but was bitten while visiting Lantana.

We may never know.

According to Chris VanDeusen, Spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services,
"Statewide, no human cases have been reported." Dallas Morning News 6/7/12.

I'd like to know if there really is a case or not, since the person quoted above said there are none.

I wrongly assumed it would be something for the HOA to clarify (or even report). :?

I think I'd pass on an HOA for that kind of thing and go directly to the Denton County Health Department. :)
