First West Nile Human Fatality in 2013

We know that batches of mosquitoes and dead birds have been testing positive for West Nile, and there have been 3 known human cases already this year, one of those resulting in death.  A man from California died over the weekend and doctors say he tested positive for West Nile earlier in the year.  Although most people usually do not show symptoms when they are infected with this virus or the symptoms are viewed as common illnesses, such as headache, fever, and body aches, it is important to know those symptoms and go see a doctor.  These symptoms could result in more severe symptoms and cause more damage to the body.  It is important to recognize these symptoms and seek help if you can so the virus does not progress. Here is the article for more information on West Nile and the case in California: http://www.sacbee.com/2013/06/09/5482701/sacramento-county-reports-first.html
