With over 48 national cases reported by the CDC as of June 30, this year’s early surge is a wake-up call. Last year, 86 human cases and 4 deaths were recorded — mostly affecting those over 55 or with preexisting conditions. While most infections are asymptomatic, severe cases can lead to paralysis or coma. Prevention is critical: use EPA-approved repellent, seal windows, wear long sleeves during dawn and dusk, and eliminate standing water — even in tiny containers. Simple daily actions can protect you and your community from this preventable threat. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
