Wondering what the various teams are doing for practice in the high and critical risk EEE zones? Our team has practice ending at 7:30 which doesn’t seem quite early enough in a critical zone. Is anyone else concerned about this or am I just over-reacting? And yes I’m spraying my kid head to toe with bug spray (but still got a bite last week)....

You are more likely to be killed on the way to/from practice.

In Dartmouth MA they just said:
The State has classified our area as a "moderate"threat for EEE and the Dartmouth school system has cancelled all outdoor school activities after 5:30PM.

Concern, sure. Panic, no. If you're in a hot zone (see link with map) then take all the precautions that you can - if you have to be outside at dusk/dark then use not just bug spray but wear long sleeves and pants. But keep in mind that while the disease is very scary it is still exceedingly rare.

Still more likely to die going to/from practice.
Take steps, but don't let the media lead you into a panic.

1. Every evening till after dark-no bug spray allowed as it harms the environment
2. All day when uv rays are at their highest with no sunscreen as it hurts the coral reefs
3. Whenever windchill is 20* or below-no hat or gloves
4. Impending tornado or hurricane threatens to blow Cape Cod off the map
5. Heat index is at 100* or higher-no hydration
Club name: the Anti-Pansies

I thought I covered my kid in spray, but forgot behind the ears and he got a bite there. Unfortunately no way to ensure complete coverage of exposed skin.
