Mosquitoes are victims! Six Romanians infected with West Nile

Six Romanians were diagnosed with West Nile virus, which is transmitted by mosquito bites. The manifestations can be diverse: from those that look like a cold to signs of meningoencephalitis. The signs of alarm requiring emergency exposure are high fever accompanied by severe headaches, vomiting, altered general feeling, increased sensitivity to light that appears 2 to 8 days after the bite of a mosquito. Doctors warn that 90% of infected people have no symptoms

"Anyone (regardless of age) struck by mosquitoes is prone to infection with West Nile virus, but the probability that 39, a person gets sick reduced, "says Dr. Tudor Ciuhodaru on his Facebook page! The main measures to prevent mosquito bites are to avoid outdoor activities between bedtime and sunrise, which is the peak activity period for most species of mosquitoes. Use on the skin exposed substances that repel insects. Permethrin-based substances do not apply directly to the skin. Wear long-sleeved clothing, long pants and stockings. mosquitoes can also hit their clothes. (The application of pemetryn-based anti-mosquito repellents on the surface of clothing may provide additional protection.)
