Sponsor Our ArticlesAuthorities in Oakland County are on high alert after finding evidence of the West Nile Virus in local mosquitoes and three birds. Although there haven’t been any reports of humans catching the virus in the county this year, locals are being urged to be cautious and take steps to prevent mosquito bites.
The folks at the Health Division of Oakland County shared that the virus is now undoubtedly present in the area and the folks need to dodge being bitten by mosquitoes to stay safe from the virus. The West Nile Virus is primarily transmitted to humans by mosquitoes, which catch the virus themselves after biting an infected bird.
Unfortunately, there are currently no vaccines or specific treatments available for the West Nile virus. However, people can lessen their risk of contracting the virus by averting mosquito bites.
To enjoy the rest of the summer and fall without the fear of mosquito bites, the health division recommends some tips:
Usually, people infected with West Nile don’t show symptoms or only develop mild illnesses like fever, headache, and body aches. However, in some cases, the virus can cause severe inflammation and swelling of the brain.
The mature population and folks above 50 are at a higher risk of experiencing serious symptoms that can be fatal. In 2024, one case of West Nile virus was reported in Livingston County. The latest data shows 49 mosquito pools and 19 birds across Michigan testing positive for the virus.
