West Nile Virus Alert in Pee Dee | Augusta Georgia News

West Nile virus is buzzing back in South Carolina’s Pee Dee region — two human cases confirmed in close proximity, signaling active mosquito transmission. While most infected show no symptoms, a small group can develop serious brain swelling. Health officials urge everyone to protect themselves: use repellent, wear long sleeves, avoid dusk and dawn, eliminate standing water, and check window screens. If you get sick after a bite, see your doctor fast. Mosquito control is local — but state and CDC teams are watching closely.
