Default West Nile

Anyone worried about West Nile during the earlier part of the season? Just saw a local program about it last night. It can be pretty nasty form what they said. One in 150 cases last for 18 months and can kill. The rest got treatment. There is no cure for it so you have to let it run its course. Kinda like Lyme disease in the early days. It seems like it started in NY/CT area and with in a few years has now spread to every state in lower 48 except Maine, Oregon and Washinton I guess. Scientist claim it will extend to Mexico, Central and South America in the near future.

After seeing the show I got scared knowing I've been running around in the woods with shorts and tee shirt getting eatin alive.
