What Is The West Nile Virus
The West Nile virus is passed to humans by the bite of an
infected mosquito. The symptoms are: fever, headache, muscle
aches, and loss of appetite. The symptoms can last 3 to 6 days.
Other symptoms might be nausea, vomiting, rash on the chest,
stomach and back.
Most people recover from West Nile virus. Some develop brain
inflammation, which is fatal. You need to see a health care
provider if you experience severe msucle weakness, high fever, a
stiff neck, or confusion. People over 50 are at most risk for
serious problems and death.
The symptoms of the West Nile virus are symptoms of other
illnesses. If you have been bitten by mosquitoes and experience
these symptoms, or you have been in an area where people and/or
animals have been sick with West Nile virus, you can suspect the
West Nile virus may be the cause of your symptoms. There are
blood tests your health care provider can use to test for signs
of West Nile virus.
There is no specific medicine to treat West Nile virus nor is
there a cure. Usually the disease goes away without
treatment
and most people recover fully. If you have a severe case of West
Nile virus you may need to be hospitalized. Your health care
provider can tell you how to manage the symptoms of West Nile
virus.
Some ways to protect yourself and your pets from West Nile virus
might include: Limiting your time outside between dusk and dawn;
Wear protective clothing like long sleeves, and long pants; Put
mosquito nets over infant carriers when outdoors; Use an insect
repellent containing DEET. Don't use repellents containing DEET
on infants under 2 months old; Remove standing water from pool
covers and other places where mosquitoes can breed; Turn plastic
wading pools upside down when not in use; Store empty flowerpots
or trash cans indoors; Make sure your rain gutters drain
properly.
