West Nile Virus Alert in Nebraska

First human case of West Nile virus confirmed in Nebraska this year — a stark reminder that mosquito season is here and the virus is real. Transmitted via infected mosquitoes (not birds directly), there’s no vaccine or cure, so prevention is your best defense. Most cases are mild, but for seniors and immunocompromised folks, it can be deadly. Stay safe: use DEET-based repellent, wear long sleeves during dawn/dusk, and eliminate standing water around your home. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
