West Nile Virus: A Persistent Threat


Summary:

West Nile Virus, transmitted by infected mosquitoes, continues to threaten the American public. This year, California alone has reported over 200 cases, resulting in five deaths. With the peak months?"August and September?"upon us, it’s crucial for people nationwide to take preventative measures. Here are four helpful tips.

1. Eliminate Breeding Sites

Mosquitoes thrive in standing water. Ensure that birdbaths, buckets, or any containers in your yard are free of water to prevent mosquito larvae. If you prefer to keep a birdbath, consider installing a fountain to keep the water moving and discourage mosquitoes from settling.

2. Use Repellent

Use repellents with ingredients like DEET and Permethrin, which are widely available and effective. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also endorses repellents containing picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus for long-lasting protection.

3. Maintain Your Home

Inspect window and door screens for tears that could allow mosquitoes inside. If you enjoy open windows, make sure they are properly screened to keep mosquitoes out.

4. Consider Spraying

While not everyone likes the idea of pesticide spraying, it is sometimes necessary in areas with high mosquito populations. Check the [Environmental Protection Agency](http://www.epa.gov) website for information on local spraying programs.

West Nile Virus can be a serious concern, but by taking these precautions, you can still enjoy time outdoors. Remember that mosquitoes are most active in the early morning and evening, so wearing long sleeves and pants during these times can further reduce the risk of bites.
