Recently, mosquitos examined by Hancock Public Health as part of the county-wide mosquito surveillance program have tested positive for West Nile virus. The presence of these virus-positive mosquitos calls for a reminder of what the West Nile virus is and how to prevent it.
The West Nile virus is most commonly spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. It is not spread through coughing, sneezing or touching, nor through touching live animals.
