Toronto Confirms First West Nile Case This Year | Ottawa News
Description
Toronto confirms its first human case of West Nile virus this year, after detecting infected mosquitoes across Ontario. Symptoms appear two weeks post-bite—fever, headache, nausea, body aches—with most recovering quickly, but risks are higher for seniors and immunocompromised individuals. Experts note this is typical for summer, though a small percentage may develop serious nerve issues. Public health urges outdoor enjoyment with key precautions: use bug spray, wear light long sleeves, eliminate standing water, and check window screens to reduce mosquito exposure.
