{Charleston, West Virginia}...The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department confirmed Tuesday that a man in his late 40s is being treated for West Nile Virus. The health department found mosquitoes carrying West Nile in three different areas of the county last week. Health Department Director Dr. Rahul Gupta says most of the West Nile cases in recent years have been mild, but residents should take all precautions. Symptoms can include a fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Gupta says it's important to remember the "4 Ds", which include dressing in long sleeves, deter the mosquitoes by putting on bug spray, avoid peak mosquito hours including dawn and dusk and drain pools of standing water.
