A Monticello man was diagnosed with the deadly virus in early August, apparently after he was exposed to mouse drop- - crawlspace of his home. Apparently because of an early diagnosis and the good man, he has avoided the deadly Respiratory Distress Syndrome that has killed dozens of Four Corners residents since the disease was identified in 1993. When a case of hantavirus was diagnosed in Wayne County this year, widespread public concern resulted in a public meeting attended by hundreds of county residents. The minimal response is of concern because awareness and early diagnosis seems to be the key to avoid the deadly effects of hantavirus. I have received dozens of press releases about West Nile Virus which may eventually threaten the area and little, if anything about hantavirus a more deadly threat which is already here. health of the WILLIAM L.
