WEST NILE VIRUS
The yearly warning is out about sometimes-deadly West Nile Virus in Arizona. Only one positive case has been identified in a "sentinel chicken," but nevertheless, health officials are warning residents to be careful.
Staying indoors between dusk and dawn is the best advice to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes that carry the virus. Experts also says you should get rid of standing water that can become a breeding ground for the pests. If you get West Nile Virus, the odds are you won't die and you may not ever know about it. But, hey, be careful anyway. The season gets worse as the summer progresses.
