My mother died of WNV 6 years ago this August. She lived in Platte County, Wyoming. She had not been ill, she was very active and healthy, but she developed symptoms quickly and it was too late. Mosquitoes come indoors too, so we must all use caution and be aware of the early symptoms which are flu-like. I would urge anyone who starts showing symptoms suddenly to seek medical attention as quickly as possible.

If mosquitos can transmit west nile virus, malaria and other virus based diseases, can mosquitos transmit the aids virus? If mosquitos cannot transmit aids, what about other biting, blood sucking insects?

What the heck does Obama have to do with West Nile and mosquitoes? Some people are just really weird I guess.

For the last eight years, the libs were blaming Bush for everything.
