West Nile Virus on the Rise in Chatham | Savannah News

Chatham County’s West Nile virus cases are on the rise as mosquito season peaks — stay alert, not alarmed. Most infections are mild or asymptomatic, but one patient required hospitalization after the virus affected their nervous system — a reminder that while rare, severe cases can happen. The southern house mosquito, active at dawn and dusk and drawn to homes, breeds in standing water, so eliminate it to prevent bites. If you feel confused, achy, or feverish — especially without a clear cause — get checked out. Your health matters.
