First Human West Nile Case in North Dakota | Fargo News

North Dakota just confirmed its first human case of West Nile virus this season — a Cass County resident hospitalized after exposure. With five counties now reporting positive mosquito pools and the virus detected in animals and birds, officials are sounding the alarm. Most infected show no symptoms, but fever, headaches, and joint pain can strike — and seniors or those with health issues face higher risks. Stay safe: use DEET or picaridin repellent, wear long sleeves, avoid dawn/dusk, eliminate standing water, and keep screens intact.
