West Nile Virus Found in Medford Mosquitoes | Portland News
Description
Oregon health officials confirm West Nile virus in mosquitoes again this year, found in Medford’s northeast area — a worrying repeat of July’s detections in Jackson and Morrow counties. While most bites cause mild flu-like symptoms, the virus can lead to severe brain inflammation, especially for those over 50 or with chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Experts urge immediate medical attention after any mosquito bite and stress eliminating standing water around homes to curb breeding grounds.
