Why anyone would conceive of West Nile as a potential bioattackOne reason may be the rather poor national reporting. It seems to me that the media represented West Nile to be something that attacked the elderly or those with compromised immune systems. In Western Michigan last summer there were several cases of West Nile in healthy adults. The victims, as of last report, were left with polio like disabilities and long rehab stints.

I'm still trying to figure out how bad WNV might get. Last summer I figured I was young and did not need to use repellent. I think I will be more diligent about avoiding mosquito bites this summer. Not only because I'm a year older, but I've started to read some really bad personal accounts on WNV.
