Mosquito Monday: In 2019, we submitted 38,000+ #mosquitoes for testing to the Southern Nevada Public Health Laboratory; 19 percent were positive for West Nile virus or St. Louis Encephalitis. Remember to fight the bite with insect repellent and tip and toss items that can hold water, like wading pools or dog dishes! http://j.mp/2Zzjy2b ... See MoreSee Less

Nice photo there V! Order some 8x10’s.

And no mosquito bites? Priceless!

In 2004, I had West Nile encephalitis. Two weeks in a coma, four months of hospitalization and countless blood draws later, I’m disabled and cannot work.I can’t stress enough how important it is to report ‘green’ pools, get rid of standing water and use an insect repellent.I was 46 years old and the healthiest I’d ever been. WNV can bring the strongest down with just one bite

We received confirmation of a measles case in a Las Vegas visitor who was here between Aug. 1 and Aug. 7. Because measles can be highly contagious, we're advising people who might have been exposed to review their immunization status and contact their health care providers if they're not fully immunized or haven't already had measles. There have been no additional cases reported in Clark County residents. For more information about this exposure and where it took place: http://j.mp/2Nglg55 ... See MoreSee Less
