West Nile?... I thought It was In Egypt!

Well... The West Nile Virus.

Apparently, it is some scary stuff. 

West Nile Virus is a virus(obviously) that is transferred through mosquitoes. 

According to the statistics:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 30,000 people in the U.S. have reported getting sick with the West Nile Virus since 1999. The disease spreads to humans most often through bites from infected mosquitoes. The mosquitoes themselves get West Nile virus when they feed on infected birds, and then spread it to humans and other animals when they bite.

The good news is about 80 percent of people who are infected with the virus won't show any symptoms at all. Up to 20 percent, however, may develop a fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, swollen lymph glands or a skin rash. These symptoms may last a few days or a few weeks, even in otherwise healthy people.

But about one in 150 people will develop a severe illness, in which they may have a high fever, neck stiffness, convulsions, vision loss, paralysis, coma or other neurological effects that may be permanent.~CBSNEWS~

My father is worried that 17 people have died already due to that virus.

If, only he knew that the death ratio of the Flu is 41,400 deaths each year.

Be careful, don't die! 

Most likely you won't if you deal with it on time.
