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.
Mosquitoes in the area continue to spread West Nile Virus to residents in the Upper Valley. Because the detection or confirmation of West Nile Virus or Western Equine Encephalitis requires a visit to the hospital or doctor’s office, many cases of the deadly diseases go unreported.
The problem does not go away just because people are confined to there homes or go to Cd. Juarez for treatment or to family.
It is possible that since “It just takes ONE bite”, nearly everyone in the Upper Valley has contacted these deadly viral diseases.
The public is being fed a line about how the EPCC Health Department is so effective in preventing the spread of these diseases and the media is only too eager to spread the line. This leads to an epidemic that could have been prevented.
