Transmitted through bites from mosquitoes that have fed on infected birds, the virus usually causes mild symptoms, but can be fatal for those over 50, men, and immunocompromised individuals. His family is urging the public to take simple, life-saving precautions: wear bug spray, protective clothing, and eliminate standing water. As summer unfolds, this tragedy reminds us that vigilance isn’t optional — it’s essential to protect ourselves and others from nature’s hidden dangers.
