The threat of West Nile Virus
is real.
Protect yourself and your family.
Ontario has mosquitoes infected with West Nile Virus. The
Huron County Health Unit urges residents to continue to protect
themselves and their families from mosquito bites from now
until the first frost. The next few weeks are the high risk time
for contracting West Nile Virus from mosquito bites.
People can protect themselves by avoiding areas with
mosquitoes, especially during dusk and dawn when they are
most active, and in heavily wooded areas during the day. Wear
light-coloured clothing and cover up whenever possible. Use
insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin, carefully
reading and following all product instructions found on the label.
Fix holes in screens of windows and doors to stop mosquitoes
from getting indoors and reduce any standing water around
homes, cottages, and businesses
Stay informed about West Nile Virus. To find out more, visit
www.huroncounty.ca or call the Huron County Health Unit at
482-3416 Ext. 2001 or if calling long distance, dial
1-877-837-614 Ext. 2001.
