West Nile Virus

West Nile Virus is a viral infection primarily spread by mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a person, the virus can enter the bloodstream and potentially lead to symptoms like fever, headache, body aches, and fatigue. Most people recover fully, but in rare cases, especially among the elderly or those with weakened immune systems, it can cause severe illness, including neurological issues or even death. There’s no specific treatment, so prevention focuses on avoiding mosquito bites by using repellents and eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed.
