West Nile Virus on the Rise in Mecklenburg | Charlotte News

West Nile Virus is on the rise in Mecklenburg County, with three confirmed human cases and positive mosquito tests — a growing concern as Labor Day weekend brings more outdoor activity. Neighboring areas are seeing similar spikes, prompting regional health alerts. While most people show no symptoms or mild flu-like signs, some may develop fever, headaches, or rashes — and there’s no vaccine or cure. Prevention is key: eliminate standing water weekly, use EPA-approved repellent, check screens, and wear long sleeves during dawn and dusk. Public Health is knocking on doors and taking calls to help keep you safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
