46 FLOURISH • FALL/WINTER 2014
West Nile virus (WNV) is a potentially serious disease that can be
transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. About 1 in 150 people
infected with West Nile virus will develop severe illness. The severe
symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor,
disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision
loss, numbness and paralysis. West Nile virus infection can be fatal.
About 1 in 5 people will display mild symptoms which can include
fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting and sometimes
swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back.
Approximately 4 out of 5 people who become infected will not show
any symptoms. While there is no cure for WNV, it is preventable.
You can reduce your risk of contracting WNV:
• Report mosquito problems to us immediately at 1-800-231-3236
• Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts when outdoors
• Use an effective insect repellent and always apply accordingly
• Inspect around your home for standing water and eliminate it What
