Summary
Cumberland County’s on high alert for West Nile virus after detecting positive mosquito samples in North and South Middleton Townships — spraying is set for Thursday, July 23rd, dusk to 11 PM. This isn’t the first case this year; six positive samples have been found across four areas. Officials are taking a smart, targeted approach to control mosquito breeding while keeping residents and the environment safe. Everyone’s urged to help: use bug spray, wear long sleeves, seal screens, and eliminate standing water — or use mosquito dunks if you can’t drain it. West Nile spreads via mosquito bites from infected birds, not person-to-person. Most cases cause flu-like symptoms, but in rare cases (less than 1%), it can lead to serious neurological issues — high fever, stiff neck, confusion — requiring immediate medical attention.
