Breaking News: Health officials have confirmed the presence of West Nile infected mosquitoes in Los Angeles County. While mosquito bites might seem like a small nuisance, they can pose a real risk to your family’s health.
Here’s what you need to know about West Nile Virus—and the best ways to protect your loved ones naturally and safely.
What Is West Nile Virus?
According to Baystate Health, West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne illness that can affect anyone.
Most people infected don’t show symptoms.
About 1 in 5 experience mild illness (fever, body aches, fatigue, or rash).
Severe cases, though rare, can lead to neurological complications like meningitis or encephalitis.
Children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable.

How to Use Insect Repellent Effectively and Safely
Using repellent the right way is just as important as choosing the right product.
1. Apply to exposed skin and clothing—avoid eyes, mouth, and open cuts.
2. For children, adults should apply repellent to their own hands first, then gently rub on the child’s skin.
3. Reapply as directed, especially if you’re sweating or spending long hours outdoors.
4. Wash skin with soap and water after returning indoors.
Tip: Pairing repellent with other mosquito-prevention steps (like removing standing water and using window screens) gives your family double protection.
