West Nile virus discovered in Howe
The Grayson County Health Department set out traps on September 10 and results have come back with mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus in Howe. Mayor Jeff Stanley says that The City of Howe sprayed last week. Other North Texas cities, such as Frisco, have recently found positive virus carrying mosquitoes as well.
According to The Mayo Clinic, the West Nile infection is caused by a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. Most people infected with West Nile virus don’t experience any signs or symptoms, or may experience only minor ones, such as fever and mild headache. However, some people who become infected with West Nile virus develop a life-threatening illness that includes inflammation of the brain.
Mild signs and symptoms of a West Nile virus infection generally go away on their own. But severe signs and symptoms — such as a severe headache, fever, disorientation or sudden weakness — require immediate attention.
Exposure to mosquitoes where West Nile virus exists increases your risk of getting West Nile virus infection. Protect yourself from mosquitoes by using mosquito repellent and wearing clothing that covers your skin to reduce your risk.
Precautions are to dress in long sleeves and pants and stay in at dusk and dawn. Citizens should use repellent with DEET. (Full story in Monday’s Howe Enterprise)
