Answers:
West nile is a virus, and I do not know of any preventative measures if you have been bitten!. A friend of mine is doing his masters on west nile prevalence in mosquito populations and getting his data requires going out into the crap and spending all day every day all summer long getting eaten alive by mosquitoes!. The prevalence is low, the incidence is low, and I would guess the majority who get it never get encephalitis!. I would not be worried at all if I were you!. If your head swells, thats when you should worry!. Good luck with the anxiety, but there is really no cause for concern!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
