West Nile Confirmed in WI

Wisconsin’s’ public health managers are confirming the state’s first cases of West Nile Virus.

The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday said the virus has been found in a person in Washington County, and a dead bird in Chippewa County. DHS says the person in Washington County is a blood donor, and his West Nile case was caught in a blood scan, even though he never had any symptoms. West Nile is not uncommon in Wisconsin, and in fact, cases tend to peak in August and September as more people are out at dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
