I think it is very important to be aware of West Nile Virus. This article was written recently so all the information is real and should not be over looked. My dad was personally victomized by West Nile so I know its serious stuff! This is for al audiences because anyone can be affected by this disease! Be safe and use bug repellant!
I'm sorry your dad has experienced this! No kidding about using bug repellant, just saying. I personnally didn't realize that so many of the cases were in our state/area.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great article, and great information to have! I'm sorry for your dad having experienced this, I would wish this upon no one. Recently I read an article talking about how there were Crows that were dying because of this out of Texas (My apologies, I do not remember where), and pet owners were worried about their pets. I saw that in the article, they said that pets should be fine. Think about that for a second, CROWS are dying and HUMANS are dying, I HIGHLY DOUBT that PETS are immune to the virus.
ReplyDeleteCondolences to your dad. :( but this is a good article about west Nile virus .this is a great to learn how to be safe
