It’s a virus spread by mosquitoes that can affect anyone. Let’s explore how to stay safe.
Mosquito bites are the main cause. It’s not contagious between people—only mosquitoes transmit it.
Most people have mild or no symptoms. But in rare cases, fever, headaches, or even severe illness can occur.
Older adults and those with weakened immune systems are at greater risk. Let’s prioritize their protection this season.
Use mosquito repellent with DEET. Apply it before heading outdoors—it’s your first line of defense.
Wear long sleeves and pants. This simple step can keep bites at bay, especially during evening walks.
Eliminate standing water around your home. Mosquitoes love it—let’s not give them a breeding ground.
Only certain mosquitoes carry the virus. The Culex mosquito is the main culprit—time to outsmart them!
