West Nile Virus detected in Windsor-Essex
A mosquito pool has tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV) in the region, according to the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU). WECHU said certain types of mosquitos can spread WNV, which can be a potentially serious infection for humans. There have been no human cases of WNV in Windsor-Essex this year. 'Windsor and Essex County residents should continue to protect themselves against mosquitoes,' said Dr. Mehdi Aloosh, WECHU's medical officer of health. 'This is an important reminder for everyone to remove standing water around our homes and workplaces to prevent mosquito breeding and protect ourselves and our families from mosquito bites.' WECHU has provided the following tips to protect yourself: Use insect repellent containing DEET, Icaridin, or other approved ingredients on clothes and exposed skin. Always read and follow label instructions on bug spray bottles. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat when outdoors. Light-coloured clothing is best as mosquitoes tend to be attracted to dark colours. Limit time you spend outdoors at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. Remove any standing water in places such as bird baths, buckets, old tires, pet water dishes, and gutters around your property. Make sure that your door and window screens fit securely and are free of holes. Call 311 or your local bylaw enforcement for standing water seen in the community. WECHU said it will continue to monitor for WNV activity in the region. More information is available here.
