Mosquitoes & West Nile Virus Allowed to Spread.
West Nile Virus was confirmed to have been found in mosquitoes near Canutillo on August 15th. The likelihood that the virus was present before that is almost certain. The alert came out a week after the fact.
This means that while the spread of mosquitoes is being allowed the many viruses that they carry are already in the area as they will be each and every year from now until the next ice age.
The more mosquitoes that are present in the area increases the chances of the viruses being spread because each mosquito can bite an infected bird... there were numerous dead doves found near the drain area of Borderland Spur Drain... and one was documented as having some form of a nuerological disorder before it died.
The more mosquitoes allowed to spread... the more different viruses that can then be spread to people.
It just takes one bite.
