West Nile Virus
West Nile Virus is spread by infected mosquitoes to birds, animals, and people. Most infections occur during mid-summer and early fall, although mosquito season can last from April to October. People who are infected may experience fever, headache, body aches, skin rash, and swollen lymph glands. Severe cases may result in high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, paralysis, and even death.
