West Nile virus is mainly transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito.
Infected mosquitoes spread West Nile virus that can cause serious, life-altering, and even fatal disease. Most people infected with the virus have no symptoms or they have flu-like symptoms. Sometimes it can cause severe illness, resulting in hospitalisation and even death.
It is important to know the symptoms and methods to minimize the infection risk, especially if virus activity is reported in an area near you.
Here are some tips to avoid mosquitos:
Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours. When outdoors, wear light clothing that covers most of the body.
They are also attracted by some body odours. Avoid fragrances in soaps, shampoos, and lotions.
