HAGERSTOWN-AREA MOSQUITO TESTS POSITIVE FOR WEST NILE

(Hagerstown, IN)--Mosquitos that tested positive for the West Nile virus have been located near Hagerstown.  Wayne County Health Department Executive Director Christine Stinson issued a release Thursday confirming the results of recent testing.  She said the best defense is to eliminate anything with standing water around your house.  The odds of being bitten by a mosquito with West Nile are remote and, even if you are, it is highly unlikely there will be any serious health effects.
