[RC] West Nile Virus-Heads Up - Marj PryorWe just returned from Montana where we met a wonderful gentleman rancher in a wheel chair. He is paralyzed on his right side. He can use his hands now but his right leg is still paralyzed. From what? West Nile Virus. He got it last year and nearly died. This was a wake up call for me. I vaccinated my horses because my vet, Jason Shaver, strongly recommended it. And I was skeptical!!! I never gave a thought to the possibility of human West Nile Virus. I just want everyone to be aware. THIS IS SERIOUS!!! Wear mosquito repellent when you are in a mosquito area. It is here and it is real. I haven't heard of a human vaccination yet. Maybe the vets can give us one??
