Austin-area health officials announced Tuesday that a second case of West Nile Virus was confirmed in Travis County. Austin Public Health also reported two mosquito samples from traps in the Barton Creek greenbelt area tested positive for West Nile. The city’s health department, which also monitors Travis County, submitted the samples to the Texas Department of State Health Services. Symptoms of West Nile Virus include fever, headache, tiredness, body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands. Austin Public Health also offered tips to prevent mosquitoes from breeding by making sure to empty any containers that may hold water, including flower pots and toys; fix leaky pipes and faucets; and clean out gutters. To prevent mosquito bites, the health department recommends staying inside when mosquitoes are active, wearing long-sleeved shirts and light-colored pants outdoors, and using insect repellent with DEET.
