West Nile warnin9 Mosauito season is almost Mosquito season is almost here and so is the likelihood of a huge increase in the cases of West Nile Virus. Health officials offi-cials are predicting this to be the worst year ever for outbreaks out-breaks of West Nile Virus, after neighboring states experienced widespread West Nile cases. Because of such a wet year, it will only give mosquitoes more areas to reproduce and spread illness. West Nile can be life threatening, threat-ening, especiaDy in the elderly. That's why there are awareness aware-ness campaigns to get people to cover up in the evenings and to use mosquito repellent with DEET. And people can do a lot to fight mosquito problems in their own yards. A |
