West Nile Surge in California | Los Angeles News
Description
California’s grappling with a terrifying surge in West Nile virus cases, hitting a five-year high with 30 human infections and three deaths—including the first fatality in Los Angeles County. An unusually warm winter and early heat wave triggered an early mosquito season, giving the virus more time to spread. With rising global temperatures, these vector-borne diseases are moving into new regions, making prevention critical. Experts urge everyone to use repellent at dawn and dusk, eliminate standing water, and stay alert—especially as peak transmission hits August and September. No cure exists, but awareness and action can save lives.
