Idaho’s First West Nile Case Alerts Residents | Boise News

Description

Idaho’s first human case of West Nile virus meningitis this year—a Canyon County resident over 65—is on the mend, but it’s a stark warning: older adults and immunocompromised individuals face much higher risks. Health officials urge everyone to wear long sleeves, use DEET-based repellent, and eliminate standing water around homes to curb mosquito breeding. With the virus already detected in mosquitoes across seven counties, prevention is your best defense—no vaccine exists for humans.
