Prevent West Nile Virus - Bring your Screens to Jack's Glass for Repair


A slew of 71 mosquito samples recently tested positive for West Nile Virus in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection announced on Wednesday.

It's the largest sample announced yet this year.

There were five samples in Bucks County, three in Chester County, four in Delaware County, and eight in Montgomery County that tested positive.

Some simple ways to avoid getting bitten:

            • Bring your window screens to Jack's Glass at 424 N. Madison St in allentown to repair them

              Use a bug spray

              Wear loose, long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors

              Avoid places with standing water

    Symptoms of West Nile Virus according to the Mayo Clinic:

        • Mild infection signs and symptoms

          About 20 percent of people develop a mild infection called West Nile fever. Common signs and symptoms of West Nile fever include:

            • Fever

              Headache

              Body aches

              Fatigue

              Back pain

              Skin rash (occasionally)

              Swollen lymph glands (occasionally)

              Eye pain (occasionally)

          Serious infection signs and symptoms

          In less than 1 percent of infected people, the virus causes a serious neurological infection. Such infection may include inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) or of both the brain and surrounding membranes (meningoencephalitis). Serious infection may also include infection and inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meningitis), inflammation of the spinal cord (West Nile poliomyelitis) and acute flaccid paralysis - a sudden weakness in your arms, legs or breathing muscles. Signs and symptoms of these diseases include:

            • High fever

              Severe headache

              Stiff neck

              Disorientation or confusion

              Stupor or coma

              Tremors or muscle jerking

              Lack of coordination

              Convulsions

              Pain

              Partial paralysis or sudden muscle weakness

          Signs and symptoms of West Nile fever usually last a few days, but signs and symptoms of encephalitis or meningitis can linger for weeks, and certain neurological effects, such as muscle weakness, may be permanent.
