The American College of Emergency Physicians is concerned
about this being the worst outbreak of West Nile Virus in the nation's
history. We've already lost 2 people to
the virus in the Pine Belt and there have been a number of additional cases. West Nile is carried by mosquitos and the
E.R. physicians urge the following precautions:
--Use the mosquito repellant such as DEET when going
outdoors and uncovered—especially around dawn or dusk. However ask a physician before using on young
children and never use on infants under 2 months old.
--Get rid of any standing water around your property.
--Use screens to keep mosquitos out of the house.
--Don't handle dead birds.
West Nile Virus is serious…and we live in one of the 5
states that have seen 75 percent of the cases in this year's outbreak. So, take precautions and—if you think you may
have it—see a doctor. I'm Jim
Cameron—let us hear from you.
