About Mosquito
Mosquitos have been an irritant for the human species since the beginning of time. They bite, they cause itchy bumps, they keep us awake at night with their buzzing, and they are the carriers of disease like yellow fever, dengue fever, and malaria.
About West Nile Virus
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) West Nile virus (WNV) is a potentially serious seasonal (summer/fall) illness for which there is no specific treatment. Avoid mosquito bites by using repellent and wearing long sleeves. In mild cases people experience symptoms such as fever and aches that pass on their own, although even healthy people have become sick for several weeks.
