West Nile Virus Spotted in Suffolk | Virginia Beach News

West Nile Virus has been detected in Suffolk’s downtown area near Freeney Avenue, prompting city officials to ramp up mosquito control efforts with targeted spraying and water treatment. While no human cases have been reported yet, residents are urged to take precautions—wear long sleeves, use bug spray, avoid outdoor exposure at dawn and dusk, and eliminate standing water around homes. The city is also distributing free mosquito dunks (for those 18+ with ID) to help prevent breeding. Cases have also been found at Langley Air Force Base; Fort Eustis remains under watch until September 1. Most infections are asymptomatic, but some can lead to severe symptoms like high fever or paralysis—so stay vigilant and protect yourself.
