It became known as 'the Shot of 2000'.

Dr. Bob Nosal estimates that between 2.000 to 4,000 local people were infected. In a report Nosal released earlier this month, he said that Oakville has become the worst infected area of West Nile virus in all of North America. For a more detailed pic ture of the spread of the virus in Oakville, a. study with McMaster University and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care is currently underway. Random blood samples from 1,500 residents in the town's south end are being collected to determine if they had ever contracted the virus. Only one out of five peo ple infected with West Nile virus show symptoms such as: fever, muscle weakness, stiff neck, confusion, severe headache, sudden sensitivity to light and extreme swelling at the bite site. The virus manifests itself in a range of ways and most people are unaware they have it because they either have no visible symptoms or mild illness such as a fever. But West Nile virus also could have serious effects such as encephalitis (swelling of the brain). Also, as part of the provincial action plan's enhanced surveillance strate gy, all dead crows and ravens will be screened, and a study of adult mosquito populations to determine which species carry the virus will also be conducted at Brock University. Public health units will also decide whether to insert special pellets or briquettes into storm sewer catch h :i« in s ; f h i c v n r in o ; in il d im .

According to Thomson, the man infected last year, spraying is the only solution toward ensuring the public is adequately protected. The cost of doing either will be shared 50-50 with the province. The other action items focus on gathering informa tion about best mosquito control techniques, tracking the infection in humans and bird populations, and suc cessful education programs. It is because the bugs are most active between dusk and dawn, that the provincial ministry urges wearing light colors (mosquitoes are attracted to dark, intense col ors) and tucking pants into socks for extra protection. Also, residents are urged to use federally regulated repellants. which contain D EBT no greater than 30 per cent for adults and 10 per cent for children age 2-12 (but not on children under six months) and apply it no more than three times a day. The ministry also recom mends containers with standing water be emptied and cleaned, change water in bird baths every other day, remove water collected on pool covers, turn over wad ing pools when not in use, clear leaves from eaves troughs, storm and roof gut ters. repair window screens, unclog drainage ditches, turn over compost frequently, fill in ruts on the lawn, and clear out dense shrubs where mos quitoes like to rest.
