Episode Details

West Nile virus is back and spreading — with confirmed human cases now in Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Madera counties. Health officials warn this is just the start as mosquito season peaks, urging everyone to take immediate action: use repellent, wear protective clothing, eliminate standing water, and report breeding sites. Since 2003, California has seen over 8,000 human cases and 400 deaths, with 128 cases and 11 fatalities last year alone. The virus also affects horses and birds, carried by the same mosquitoes that spread St. Louis encephalitis — so stay vigilant and contact your local Mosquito Abatement District.
