West Nile Virus Alert in Wisconsin | Eau Claire News
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
West Nile virus is showing up in Wisconsin — mosquitoes in Milwaukee and a bird in Bayfield have tested positive, marking the first cases this year. No human infections yet, but health officials are urging caution: the virus spreads from birds to mosquitoes, not between people. Most infected show no symptoms, but some may experience fever, headaches, or even paralysis — especially in older adults and immunocompromised individuals. Wisconsin averages 19 cases annually, peaking in summer and lingering until frost. Stay safe: eliminate standing water, use bug spray with DEET or picaridin, wear long sleeves during dawn and dusk, and keep screens intact.
