West Nile Virus Spreads in NC Counties | Charlotte News

West Nile virus is making a comeback in North Carolina, with recent cases popping up in Cabarrus, Gaston, and Mecklenburg counties — including two new confirmed infections in Cabarrus just last week. While most people show no symptoms, a small percentage can develop serious neurological issues like confusion or muscle weakness. Health officials are urging everyone to protect themselves by wearing long sleeves at night, using bug spray, and eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed. The Cabarrus Health Alliance is also handing out mosquito dunks to help curb the spread. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
