West Nile Virus Detected in Richardson County

A mosquito pool in Richardson County has tested positive for West Nile virus. At this time, this does not mean there are any confirmed human cases. However, it does mean the virus is present in local mosquitoes, so it's important to take precautions to reduce your risk of mosquito bites.

While many people infected with West Nile virus do not develop symptoms, some may experience:
• Fever
• Headache
• Body aches
• Joint pain
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Rash

In rare cases, the virus can cause serious illness affecting the brain and nervous system. Adults over 60 and people with certain medical conditions are at greater risk for severe illness.

Protect yourself by :
Using EPA-registered insect repellent
Wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors, especially at dawn and dusk
Removing standing water around your home where mosquitoes can breed

If you develop symptoms consistent with West Nile virus after being bitten by mosquitoes, contact your healthcare provider for evaluation.

Please help spread the word by sharing this post and taking steps to protect yourself and your family.
