Melissa in the Morning: Little Pink Lie

Mosquitoes infected with EEE have now been detected in six Connecticut towns. What does that mean for people outdoors trying to avoid mosquito bites? Dr. Browne talks about the impact of EEE. He also touched on decongestants. An FDA advisory panel says a decongestant found in popular over-the-counter cold medicines doesn’t work.  The panel unanimously agreed about the ineffectiveness of phenylephrine on Tuesday.  The decongestant is found in common medicines like Benadryl Allergy Plus Congestion and Sudafed PE.
