Summer 2025: Mosquito Science with Ask The Doctor on FOX 13 News

Mosquitoes are selective insects, meaning some people are more likely to get bites than others. That’s right... there’s actual science behind why some people are more attractive to the insects than others!

MountainStar Healthcare's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Filip Roos, joined Good Day Utah with FOX 13 News' Kelly Chapman & Dan Evans to talk about it. If you're wondering whether you're a target, consider the answers to these questions:
1️⃣ What's your blood type? Do you have Type O?
2️⃣ How much carbon dioxide does your body give off? (The more you give off, the more attractive you are to the bugs)
3️⃣ Do you run warm? People whose body heat runs a little higher are more likely to get the bite.

In one controlled study by the Journal of Medical Entomology, the bugs landed on people with blood Type O nearly twice as frequently as those with Type A. Lifestyle or other health factors may also play a role. If you're drinking alcohol or exercising, bites are more likely. If you're overweight or pregnant, you're also more likely to get bitten!

Stay safe out there and do your best to prevent bites altogether!
• Avoid peak mosquito activity times (sunrise & sunset)
• Wear loose-fitting, light-colored long-sleeved shirts and long pants
• Keep a fan on or gather in a breezy area
• Use insect repellent with DEET
• Treat clothing and gear with an insecticide
• Control mosquitoes indoors and outdoors

🎉 Please join us in congratulating Rachelle Kroll, Child Life Specialist, on being named TRH Colleague of the Year! 🌟 Rachelle is known for her incredible patience, kindness, and ability to connect with children during some of their most vulnerable moments.

One recent example of her compassion was when a boy with special needs was too scared to leave his car for surgery. Rachelle gently engaged him through discussion and playful activities, helping him feel safe and supported. Thanks to her calm and creative approach, he walked into the hospital with his mom and was able to receive the surgery he needed. 💙

Rachelle’s dedication to making every child feel seen, heard, and comforted is just one of the many reasons she’s so deserving of this honor. We’re proud to have her on our team! 👏 💐

🙏 At MountainStar Healthcare, compassion is at the heart of everything we do. Our colleagues care like family and foster a culture of empathy, connection and support. Compassionate connected care is reflected in how we treat both our patients and each other. 🙏

One way that we improve the care experience at our hospitals is through our chaplain program, provided by ECS. This aligns with our mission, above all else we are committed to the care and improvement of human life. Healing is often needed in more than the body alone and our chaplains help facilitate this with special training to provide support in the religious or non-religious tradition of those they meet. 📿☸️🛕⛪

Mountain View Hospital and Timpanogos Regional hospital are pleased to provide chaplains for the concerns of our patients and staff. One way that our staff members can benefit is by using chaplain-led mindfulness sessions such as those provided recently at both of these facilities. This innovative wellness approach includes breathing exercises that reduce stress and improve focus. Staff describe these chaplain-guided sessions as providing valuable tools they use both at work and at home. https://bit.ly/3HB2rHT 🕊️

This is one more way that we improve more lives in more ways.

In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, caregivers are often expected to perform under intense pressure, carrying emotional and physical burdens with little time to care for themselves. But across Episcopal Community Services (ECS) partner hospitals, chaplains are quietly reshaping that real...

We recognize and affirm that we are committed to providing compassionate and respectful healthcare for all patients and fostering a culture of belonging for colleagues.
