Episode Details

Kansas is on high alert for West Nile virus as mosquito activity surges — and it’s not just a buzz. While most infected folks show no symptoms, the virus can cause severe flu-like illness or even death, especially in older adults and men. Last year saw 26 neuroinvasive cases and one fatality; this year, just one non-neuroinvasive case has been reported. Stay safe: use EPA-approved repellent, wear long sleeves, avoid dawn/dusk, seal screens, and dump standing water twice weekly to crush mosquito breeding grounds.
