Re: What are my chances of catching West Nile virus?
Most cases of WNV are either asymptomatic or a mild flu-like illness (ie unlikely to cause v-ing). There are the rare cases that can cause serious conditions like encephalitis and Guillain-Barre syndrome, the former often causing v-ing. That being said, it is extremely unlikely that you have WNV. Think of how many people get many, many mosquito bites every year and only a very small percentage even get sick, let alone have the rare serious complications. It might be a good idea to have some sort of bug bite protection though, even wearing long sleeves and pants can really help reduce bites.
