West Nile Virus Hits Hays County | San Antonio News

West Nile Virus has hit Hays County — officials confirm the first human case of the year, with eight mosquito samples already testing positive. Spread mainly through bites from infected mosquitoes (which feed on birds), the virus rarely passes between people but can cause flu-like symptoms to paralysis with no cure. Prevention is critical: use repellent, wear protective clothing, and drain standing water to stop breeding grounds. Community vigilance is key — empty flower pots and bird baths now to protect yourself and your neighbors. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
