West Nile strikes Indiana with first reported human case in the state
The West Nile Virus has officially spread to Indiana, as the first infected human this year in the state has been reported from Jefferson County, health officials announced Tuesday.
11 different Indiana counties have reported positive tests for mosquito carrying the virus, most notably metropolitan and suburban counties such as Marion, Hendricks, and Hamilton County.
In addition to the mosquito with the virus, state health officials have also discovered a crow in Marion County and a horse in Noble County carrying the disease.
“This case serves as a reminder that the virus is circulating in the state and humans are still susceptible to infection,” said Jennifer House, director of Zoonotic Epidemiology at the Indiana State Department of Health, in a press release. “The best thing people can do to prevent getting infected with West Nile virus is to take simple steps to protect themselves from being bitten by a mosquito.”
House said some of the best ways to combat the illness, as well as other insect-born illnesses such as Saint Louis encephaliis and Eastern equine encephalitis, include wearing pants and long sleeves, staying away from mosquito infested areas and sing insect repellent on any exposed skin.
Other steps to take to drive away mosquito include cutting grass often, replacing water in a pet’s bowl often, and throwing out or removing any items outside that hold water.
Symptoms of the disease are typical symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph glands and a rash, making the disease hard to pinpoint in most cases.
West Nile virus has no cure and no vaccine for humans. Individuals who are infected should seek medical care as soon as possible.
