 So West Nile virus is transmitted¹ to us to humans by mosquitoes, so everything we can do to avoid contact with mosquitoes, to avoid being bitten is a good thing. 

First, a lot of the bitting take place in and around your home, so go around the outside of your home and check to see if there is any standing² water and check out gutters³, for example, and places like that and then get rid of that water so the mosquito can’t breed⁴ there. And then, of course, insect for pallium, mosquito with pallium was very important. Put it on, especially as you are going out in the morning or late in the afternoon because that’s when mosquito like to feed. And, try, I know it is hot out, but try if you going out at those hours, long sleeve shirts and long trousers or slacks⁵ for the ladies. Anything you can do to avoid getting bitten by those mosquitoes. 

What’s now were caused an illness with fever, and it is offen associated with aches and pains and feeling poorly, and that will take you to the doctor.
