Health Facilities Update HealthyNEWS West Nile Virus update A Franklin County man’s illness, which was suspected to be West Nile virus, has been identified as St. Louis encephalitis. St. Louis encephalitis virus is very similar to West Nile virus: it is not spread person to person; mosquitoes that have become infected by feeding on infected birds transmit it to animals and humans. The increased West Nile virus surveillance by the State and local health departments will likely result in increased identification of encephalitis caused by other viruses.

Tom Church, Communications Office, Washington State Inchelium Health Clinic Department of Health, stated, “This should be a wake-up call”. He pointed out that our main tools are education and prevention. The overriding message is “Don’t get bitten by mosquitoes”.

Although the Franklin County case turned out not to be West Nile virus, it is still necessary to do everything we can to protect ourselves from mosquito bites. Last year in the State of Washington there were positive West Nile cases in birds and horses, and we can expect to see human cases this summer. The following are ways you can control mosquitoes:

฀ Empty anything that holds standing water – old tires, buckets, plastic covers, and toys. ฀ Change water in your birdbaths, fountains, wading pools and animal troughs weekly. ฀ Recycle unused containers that may collect water – bottles, cans and buckets. ฀ Make sure roof gutters drain properly, and clean clogged gutters in the spring and fall. ฀ Fix leaky outdoor faucets and sprinklers. ฀ Make sure windows and doors are “bug tights.” Repair or replace screens. San Poil Valley Healh Center ฀ Wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants, and a hat when going into mosquito-infested areas, such as wetlands or woods.
