WAYNE COUNTY JOINED BY RANDOLPH, HENRY COUNTY FOR POSITIVE WEST NILE TESTS

(Whitewater Valley)--Earlier this week, Kicks 96 and 101.7 The Point News reported that some mosquitos in Wayne County had tested positive for the West Nile Virus.  Now, two other Whitewater Valley counties can be added to the list.  Randolph and Henry County have also had positive tests, according to the Indiana Department of Health.  The odds of getting bitten by a West Nile-infected mosquito are extremely low.  And, even if you are bitten, you’ll probably never develop any symptoms.  According to the CDC, only one of every 150 people bitten develops serious symptoms.
