Episode Details

West Nile Virus has been detected in Cabarrus County — here’s what you need to know: mosquitoes tested in early to mid-July confirmed the presence of the virus, which typically emerges between July and September. Most people won’t feel a thing, but a small percentage can develop serious symptoms like paralysis or brain damage — it’s not contagious from person to person. Prevent it by eliminating standing water (flower pots, tires, etc.), using “tip and toss” weekly, applying DEET bug spray, wearing long sleeves and pants, and checking window screens. For updates or to report issues, contact the Cabarrus Health Alliance. Stay alert and protect yourself.
