West Nile Virus Detected in Chicago
Description
West Nile virus has been detected for the first time this season in Chicago’s North Shore, with positive mosquito samples found in Wilmette, Evanston, and Northbrook — out of over 200 tested pools. While most infected people show no symptoms, some may experience fever, headaches, and fatigue. Experts warn more cases are likely as summer heats up, since warmer weather accelerates mosquito and virus activity. Human risk remains low but is being closely monitored. To stay safe, use repellent, wear loose clothing, and eliminate standing water around your home.
