TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - This Fourth of July may have you thinking red, bite, and blue. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says that Northeast Kansas is in a high risk for the West Nile virus just before your Independence Day.
The Culex Mosquito is the most common carrier of the West Nile virus and is most active at dawn and dusk according to KDHE.
“At the high risk we want individuals to wear their mosquito repellent,” says Amie Cook, the West Nile Virus Surveillance Coordinator for KDHE, “wear long sleeves and long pants to avoid mosquito bites and also if you are over the age of fifty then you might want to limit the outdoor activity that you have at dusk and dawn.”
