## Resource

Mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus have been spotted in St. Louis County — a first this year — so stay alert as temps rise. Most people won’t feel a thing, but for seniors, immunocompromised folks, and those with chronic conditions, it can be serious. No vaccine or cure exists, so prevention is key: dump standing water, wear long sleeves, use repellent, and avoid being outdoors at dawn and dusk. Health officials are monitoring closely — and you can help. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
