Episode Details

Manitoba’s government has launched a city-wide mosquito spray campaign to fight a dangerous surge in West Nile virus risk, targeting neighborhoods across Winnipeg with nighttime fogging starting July 31st using a Health Canada-approved, low-risk pesticide. With adult Culex tarsalis mosquitoes detected carrying the virus and no human cases confirmed yet, officials warn that just one bite can transmit the disease — especially dangerous for seniors and immunocompromised individuals. This year’s outbreak is the earliest and most severe in over two decades, prompting urgent public health advice: use repellent, wear long sleeves, and avoid dawn and dusk. The goal? Slash mosquito numbers before the virus spreads further.
