## Resource

West Nile Virus is back in California, with new confirmed cases in Fresno and Kings counties—bringing the state’s total to five this year. Last year saw 128 cases and 11 deaths; since 2003, over 8,000 cases and 400+ deaths have been recorded. As warmer months ramp up mosquito activity, health officials urge the “Three Ds”: use repellent, avoid dawn and dusk, and drain standing water. Also, report any dead birds—they may signal early virus activity. Simple steps can help stop the spread. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
