Some Knowledge about West Nile Virus

This week I did some research on the West Nile Virus...

I learned that it is a mosquito-borne illness and is mostly found in tropical areas. I also learned that the virus can only be spread by the mosquito biting you. It cannot be transferred from person to person or animal to person. It can also be spread by the transferrering of blood. The people with West Nile don't even realize they have the virus until it has chosen them. West Nile can be spread through birth or breast feeding a child. West Nile can cause swelling of the brain and spinal cord which can kill you. If you get bitten you have a chance getting West Nile. Most people fully recover from the virus. The virus targets you people and people over 70. For people over 70, West Nile can become fatal. If the virus becomes serious enough, it can cause permanent seizers, memory loss, and brain damage. Stay on the look out for any mosquitos and where bug spray!
