It was reported earlier this week that mosquitoes in Wind Gap and the North Side both tested positive for carrying high levels of the West Nile Virus.

"We didn't have any human cases in 2017 or 2016, however, that doesn't mean that West Nile Virus isn't in our community".

Apply Insect Repellent when Outdoors. Ground and aerial operations are underway to subdue these mosquito populations, according to a release.

"Today's announcement reminds all Pennsylvanians to be vigilant and take precautions to protect against mosquito bites".

Symptoms may include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands.

Those with severe cases are hospitalized and receive supportive care such as intravenous fluids and respiratory treatment.

Clothing - Wear shoes, socks, and long trousers and long-sleeves. To keep mosquitoes from entering a home, make sure window and door screens are in place and are in good condition.

The mosquitoes that transmit WNV breed in areas with standing and stagnant water.

The NOMTCB urges residents to protect themselves from mosquito bites by limiting outdoor activities between dusk and dawn, using EPA-approved repellents and reducing the number of mosquitoes by emptying water-filled containers. Repellents with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, para-menthane-diol, and IR3535 are effective.

Since mosquitoes tend to most active at dawn and dusk, residents can also protect themselves by using a bug spray with DEET and wear long trousers and shirts to minimize exposure. This makes it important for residents to evaluate yards on a weekly basis and eliminate standing water. Fortunately, most people infected with WNV do not have symptoms. People over 50 and those with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to the disease and are more likely to experience serious consequences.
