West Nile Outbreak in South Carolina | Greenville News

West Nile virus is spreading in South Carolina’s Midlands and Lowcountry, with six confirmed cases so far — a reminder to stay vigilant. Spread through mosquito bites, symptoms range from fever and headaches to rash, often mistaken for other illnesses. While the Pee Dee region saw an earlier outbreak, no new cases there recently — but the threat lingers. Health officials urge everyone to wear protective clothing, use bug spray, and eliminate standing water (like in old tires or clogged gutters) to curb mosquito breeding. Older adults and immunocompromised individuals face higher risks — so even if you’re outside the outbreak zone, take precautions now.
