Make sure you have your mosquito-repellent handy -- West Nile virus samples are coming in positive from all over Los Angeles County.
West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, and there is no cure. Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, nausea, or a skin rash, and can last for several days to months. People can reduce the risk of West Nile virus by eliminating standing water, wear EPA-registered and CDC-recommended insect repellent, and report neglected swimming pools to the local vector control district.
For more information, contact the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District at 944-9656 or visit www.GLAmosquito.org.Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
