West Nile Virus Found in Worcester Mosquitoes | Boston News

West Nile Virus has been detected in Worcester mosquitoes again this summer — prompting targeted sprayings starting August 6th in affected zones. While the city’s risk remains moderate and no human cases have been reported, officials urge residents in spray areas to keep windows closed and pets indoors. To stay protected, follow the “five Ds”: dress for coverage, use DEET, avoid dawn/dusk, and drain standing water. Older adults are at higher risk for severe illness. Health authorities are monitoring closely — stay updated on local alerts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
