Mosquitoes in Ottawa have tested positive for West Nile virus ‼️🦠🦟 Ottawa Public Health says the virus was detected in mosquito samples collected within the city, marking the first positive mosquito pools of the season. While most people who are infected never develop symptoms, some may experience fever, headaches, body aches, fatigue or a rash. In rare cases, the virus can lead to serious neurological illness, particularly in older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Health officials are reminding residents to take simple precautions, including using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants during dusk and dawn, and eliminating standing water around homes where mosquitoes can breed.
