West Nile Virus in Nevada - Get the Facts

West Nile virus is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that was newly introduced to the United State in 1999, where it resulted in the death of many birds and caused illness in both humans and horses. West Nile virus has spread across the United States since its initial recognition in New York state, and now occurs throughout most of the United States. The most serious manifestation of West Nile virus infection is fatal encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), in humans, horses, and certain domestic and wild birds. As of March 2004, West Nile virus has been documented in 48 states and the District of Columbia. - http://health2k.state.nv.us/special/wnv/

How can I protect myself from West Nile Virus when I'm outside?
-1- Apply insect repellent containing DEET when outdoors, especially during dawn or dusk
-2- Wear long sleeves, long pants and socks
-3- Drain standing water or do not stand next to standing water
