## Resource

West Nile virus is surging in the San Gabriel Valley this year—with 105 positive mosquito samples, far above the five-year average. A mild winter and heat waves fueled the outbreak, leading to 15 confirmed human cases and the first death in August. Experts urge residents to take action before Labor Day: dump standing water, clear containers like buckets and pet dishes, treat pools, and use DEET or picaridin repellent. Older adults and those with health conditions are at highest risk—there’s no cure, so prevention is key. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
