West Nile Virus in Canada

Along with the summer heat comes the predictable presence of buzzing, biting mosquitoes. But now they have become more than just an annoyance — some may be carriers of the West Nile Virus.

Tell us what precautions, if any, you are taking this summer to protect yourself and your family from the virus. Are you avoiding mosquito-prone areas such as marshes and lakes? Are you soaking yourself in insect repellent? Or do you consider the virus just one more risk in life? Give us the buzz on your reactions to West Nile in Canada.
