THREE
WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR WEST NILE VIRUS RISK
| Cover Up!
Wearing long sleeve shirts, long pants and socks sprayed with repellent
while outdoors can further help prevent mosquito bites. Avoid Mosquitoes! Many
mosquitoes bite between dusk and dawn. Limit time outdoors during these hours,
or be especially sure to use repellents and protective clothing.
|
| Spray!
Spray insect repellent containing DEET (Look for N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) on
exposed skin when you go outdoors. Spray clothing with repellents containing
DEET or permethrin to repel mosquitos. Products with a higher percentage of
DEET (up to 50%) give longer protection against mosquitos. Don't spray
repellent on skin under clothing. Don't use permethrin on skin.
|
| Use Repellent Carefully!
Repellents containing DEET are very safe for adults and children when
used according to directions. Don't put repellent on kid's hands because it
may get in their mouth or eyes. |
WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET INFECTED?
Most people who get infected with West Nile
virus do not have any symptoms. Some people develop a mild illness called
West Nile Fever. This mild illness gets better on its own. No treatment is
needed. A small number of people (less than 1 out of 100) who get infected with
West Nile virus develop severe disease, called West Nile encephalitis or
West Nile meningitis (inflammation of the brain or the area around the
brain). This severe disease usually requires hospitalization. In some cases,
especially among older persons, it can result in death. Symptoms of severe
illness include headache, high fever, stiff neck, mental confusion, muscle
weakness, tremors (shaking), convulsions, coma, and paralysis. See your doctor
if you develop these symptoms. There is no specific treatment for the West Nile
virus infection.
Because BugX® Towelettes
are compact, they can be carried in
a pocket, purse, or even the glove box of an Engine. Keep some around the
house and let the kids take one to school. Basically, why take a chance?
