First West Nile Death in California | Fresno News
Description
Kings County confirms California’s first West Nile virus death this year — a tragic milestone as mosquito season ramps up. The victim, who lived in Lemoore, was among three reported cases in the county this year, with the first human case confirmed just days after last year’s start. Health officials urge vigilance: use repellent, fix screens, and eliminate standing water to curb mosquito breeding. With 17 statewide cases already, experts warn peak season is still ahead — and the virus can cause devastating neurological damage or death.
