West Nile Virus in Hazen
The Commander is having more of a struggle with the lingering effects of West Nile virus than Lord Kadizzle. The lingering part is soreness, tiredness, and for the Commander grumpiness. Since we have been stricken with this dread, we have become much more aware of how prevalent it is in our area. Many of the cases go unreported. Recently a local bar owner had a very bad case and lost his sight temporarily. Other people have suffered partial paralysis. Many people in our community have take up to a year to fully recover. This year the amount of rain increased, and I think so did the mosquito population. I think it is hopeless to avoid mosquitoes completely, so good luck, and if you get it I hope it is a mild case.
