Long-sleeved shirts, long pans, socks and sboes arc also recom- mend attire for outdoor activities in the evening and early mormng bours. Thougb mots people infected witb the West Nule Virus don't get sick, it can be fatal in some cases. Those most as risk include seniors, very young cbildren and persons with a weakened immune system. Symptoms of tbe disease generally include mùld fever, beadache, stiff neck, muscle weakness, skin rash and swollen lymph glands. There is no specific treatment or vaccine agamnst the West Nile Virus.
