Man Finds West Nile Through Blood Test | Winnipeg News
Description
A 58-year-old man named Todd Holmes discovered he had West Nile virus after a blood donation test — and his social media post is sparking awareness. Feeling drained, achy, and feverish, the call from Canadian Blood Services finally made sense of his symptoms. He’s urging others to check for signs like headaches and fatigue, especially if they’ve been in affected areas. While most infected people show no symptoms, some develop mild illness weeks after a bite — and early detection matters. The key? Use insect repellent. Public health officials confirm cases are tracked and reported weekly, but Todd’s message is simple: stay alert and protect yourself.
