CDC Urges Mosquito Bite Prevention as West Nile Virus Season Hits Strong, Early Start

CDC Urges Mosquito Bite Prevention as West Nile Virus Season Hits Strong, Early Start
The CDC is urging Americans to prevent mosquito bites as West Nile virus season is off to a strong, early start, according to AP News.

West Nile Season Is Starting Strong and Early

The CDC is urging Americans to protect themselves from mosquito bites as West Nile virus season hits what the agency describes as a strong, early start, according to AP News.

The agency's warning is about a seasonal virus with a documented track record. The prevention measures it recommends are voluntary and impose no burden on anyone.

The Unanswered Question Heading Into Summer

Whether this early, strong activity translates into an especially severe season remains to be seen. State and local health departments will be the first to show that answer in their surveillance data over the coming weeks.
