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.
