As mosquito activity increases during the summer months, we are reminding everyone to take precautions against mosquito bites and reduce exposure to West Nile virus, the most common mosquito-borne disease in the state.

Humans can get the virus only from the bite of an infected mosquito; the disease does not spread from other animals to humans, or from person to person.

Most mosquito-borne infections are mild, with fever and flu-like symptoms, but severe infections may cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and rarely, death.
