The virus spreads rapidly in children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. If the West Nile virus reaches the brain, it can be dangerous and even fatal.

No vaccine has yet been found for the virus. With general fever medication it can go away on its own in a few days. However, there is still a risk of an increase. To prevent this virus, keep the area around you clean and prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
