LCDPH warns public of West Nile Virus and mosquitoes

Staff report Logan County Department of Public Health Logan County Department of Public Health is asking the public to join them in the fight against mosquitoes. With the onset of warm weather, mosquitoes are becoming more active which increases the threat of mosquito-related diseases such as West Nile Virus (WNV).  West Nile encephalitis is an infection of the brain caused by WNV which is transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes. During warm weather months, the Logan County Department of Public Health (LCDPH) reminds everyone to take precautions to eliminate breeding areas around your home and to avoid mosquito bites.  Precautions to prevent mosquitoes include: When outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and apply insect repellent that includes DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus according to label instructions.  Contact a physician before using repellents on infants.  Eliminate all sources of standing water that can support mosquito breeding
