Local Crow Tests Positive for West Nile Virus
14) Medical Officer of Health
for the County of
Lambton urges residents
to continue to take
precautions
Test results received today confirm a dead
crow found in central Sarnia on July 20 tested
positive for West Nile virus, the first positive
finding of 2011 in Lambton County.
Four (4) birds have been submitted for test-
ing in 2011 by the County of Lambton Com-
munity Health Services Department. Moni-
toring dead bird activity is an important
measure for predicting West Nile virus in the
area.
"This Is the time of year when people are at
the most risk of being exposed to mosquitoes
carrying West Nile virus as activity generally
increases throughout August and Septem-
ber," said Dr. Christopher Greensmith, (A)
Medical Officer of Health for the County of
Lambton. "Residents are urged to continue
to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites
and to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds
on their properties."
To reduce your risk of being bitten by
mosquitoes:
• Avoid areas with high mosquito
populations
• Take extra precautions from dusk to dawn
when mosquito activity is high
• Wear protective, light-coloured clothing
• Use repellents containing DEET (follow
label instructions carefully)
To reduce mosquito breeding areas:
• Drain areas of standing or stagnant water
on your property
• Remove old tires, turn over pails, toys and
wheelbarrows
• Change water in bird baths (at least
weekly)
• Keep eaves dear to avoid trapped water
West Nile virus is spread to humans
through the bite of an infected mosquito, The
majority of people who are infected with West
Nile virus do not get sick. Those who do
become i11 usually experience mild flu-like
symptoms such as fever, headache, skin rash
or muscle aches. Less than 1% of people
infected with the virus get seriously ill,
This year to date, there have been no
human cases of West Nile virus reported in
