Episode Details

El Paso’s health department warns of two confirmed West Nile virus cases this year — one elderly man hospitalized, another woman in rehab — urging everyone to take action before it’s too late. Mosquitoes spread the virus after feeding on infected birds, and while most people show no symptoms, seniors and those with health conditions face serious risks like fever, headaches, and even brain inflammation. With no vaccine or cure, prevention is critical: use DEET repellent, wear long sleeves, avoid dawn/dusk, and eliminate standing water. Simple steps like fixing screens and reporting breeding sites can save lives — protect yourself and your community now.
