Toronto Public Health confirms the first batch of this year’s mosquitoes has tested positive for West Nile virus — a seasonal concern monitored through weekly trap sampling across 22 city sites. While the actual risk to residents remains low, officials urge everyone to stay vigilant: wear light, long-sleeved clothing and use Health Canada-approved repellent to avoid bites. With warmer months ahead, these simple steps can make a big difference in staying safe. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
