West Nile Virus
Hmmm.....
A person has died because of the virus...first person to do so in the Los Angeles county. Article is here: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-09/13/content_9959752.htm
And there's an article stating that the virus exists in Palmdale, a couple miles from where my parents live.
Well, so far, complications and fatalities only occur in weak-immuned and older bodies, so I'm not too worried.
But isn't it frightening, in an awe-striking way, that something that microscopic can travel across a whole continent so quickly?
I got two bug bites last night and they've swollen up to the size of golf balls. I react violently against bug bites =(
