How Can I Prevent From Getting West Nile Virus...... Please Help Please? |
i live in chicago and i have my own pool i'm always outside when its night time like at 10 or 11 how can i prevent from not getting west nile virus..... Mosquitos carry West Nile...so you have to prevent yourself from getting bitten. Wear bug repellant and control the mosquito population around your yard. There are mosquito "zappers" out there that are machines which attract then kill mosquitos. They're quite effective. Are you really worried about this??? um is this a serious question? if so, then technicaly there is no way to keep from getting it. mosquitos carry it. but the chance of actually catching it are pretty low. like iin a billion bugs carry it, and the chances of you getting bitten by one are slim.. dont believe everything ya hear on the news, scary stories are good for ratings. Use a bug repellent with DEET. ok well the easy way is to just lock urself inside for all of the summer months otherwise just use mosquito repellant Wear "Off" mosquito repellant. Don't get bitten by misquito's that are infected with it. Use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and don't go outside in the early morning or evening. That's pretty much it. try using one of the sport versions of and kind of insect repellent.... |
