BEAUFORT COUNTY, SC (WSAV) – The West Nile Virus has been detected in Beaufort County Mosquitoes. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control urges residents to prevent mosquito bites.
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and Beaufort County officials announced late Friday that a few samples of mosquitoes trapped in Beaufort County have tested positive for West Nile virus.
"Identifying mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus in our state is not uncommon," said Chris Evans, Ph.D. and DHEC's staff entomologist. "A positive identification should serve as a reminder of the importance of preventing mosquito bites. It's the most important step you can take to prevent the spread of illness from mosquitoes to humans."
DHEC was notified June 23 of the virus-positive mosquitoes taken from the Beaufort County area.
"The mosquito carrying this virus is usually active at night, but can also be active at dusk and dawn and in shady areas during the day," Evans said. "As the state's public health agency, we partner with jurisdictions across the state to help trap and identify mosquitoes carrying diseases that can be spread to humans. The virus actually starts with a bird. It spreads when a mosquito bites a bird that has the virus in their blood. The mosquito then can spread the virus to other birds, animals or people, when it bites during feeding."
"We have strategically applied public health insecticides in Beaufort County" said Gregg Hunt, Beaufort County Mosquito Control Director. "Our trucks operate during nighttime hours when these mosquito species are most active. The insecticide that we use is very effective, and was selected because it should have a quick knockdown."
"Most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms," said Linda Bell, M.D. and state epidemiologist. "The risk of serious illness such as encephalitis, a potentially fatal inflammation of the brain, occurs in less than one percent of people infected."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention https://www.cdc.gov/westnile/faq/genquestions.html, symptoms of West Nile virus disease include the following:
* No symptoms in most people. Most people (70-80%) who become infected with West Nile virus do not develop any symptoms.
* Febrile illness in some people. About 1 in 5 people who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Most people with this type of West Nile virus disease recover completely, but fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or months.
* Severe symptoms in a few people. Less than 1% of people who are infected will develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis (inflammation of the brain or surrounding tissues). The symptoms of neurologic illness can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures, or paralysis.
"If you have concerns about the virus or develop symptoms, you should contact your health care provider," Bell said.
"There have been no confirmed transmissions of West Nile virus to humans here in Beaufort County or South Carolina this year," said R. Taylor Lee, Low Country Regional Health Director. "We will continue to monitor going forward."
DHEC recommends residents pay attention to the most effective ways to prevent mosquito-borne illnesses.

As he drove through a residential intersection with the right of way, a retired school teacher turned left directly in front of him. There was no time for the rider to evade the collision, and he ended up suffering multiple serious injuries.The motorcyclist called the Dunnion Law Firm, who were able to obtain a six figure settlement for him, and also reduce the medical bills so that he received a handsome amount in pocket. He recommends to his fellow riders that they call the Dunnion Law Firm if they ever find themselves hurt by a negligent driver.

Seriously, any time I mention the problems black people have to put up with, I'm blasted and treated as if I'm a monster for it, even when I don't say things that are inflammatory, even when I use straight up facts, even fucking statistics? What, are we not allowed to discuss our issues like normal humans? Oh wait, I forgot, we're not human, we're "black". What's so wrong with what I've done, huh? What's so wrong about wanting to protect my people when they need me, wanting to protect them from a world that hates and fears them and has always wanted to see them in chains? I just want them to be safe, I don't want my people to be in chains anymore.

I haven't heard this happening. Who is preventing you from talking about the issues blacks face or black history? As far as I can tell, it's still something people are welcome to talk about in order to fix.11|00|0
Not online, where the most people would hear you, online just validates the reality, that most people, especially white Americans, are deeply and proudly prejudiced at worst, and deeply and ignorantly prejudiced at best, and both sides feel justified and will refuse to listen to you.

honestly it doesn't matter where you're at in america if you try to talk about black problems in a non predominately black setting the conversation will be quickly steered away or withdrawed from out of discomfort, fear, guilt, or racism.
Sounds like the white people there just can't take any sort of discussion whatsoever regarding racism issues.

I enjoy discussion if that's what you really want but a discussion is a frank exchange of views, not one person preaching and the other listening and being told they have nothing valid to add because they 'will just never understand'.
Statistics are not above criticism. You can make statistics say just about anything if you torture them.
I don't know a lot of white people who hate and fear black people generally, more like they find the behavior of of a lot of black people uncongenial and just prefer not to be around those sorts of black people. They don't like to be around white people who act like that either. It's a curious thing, I've always found blacks from Africa or even the Caribbean much easier company than blacks from the US. So I don't think it's the skin color, it's the culture that keeps you from being better accepted by whites.00|00|0
I know a lot of white people like you with a disgusting sense of superiority that happily lump all blacks together like a fucking hive mind, and then pass it off as not racist. Believe it or not, most blacks are fucking middle class to begin with, the poor black screen hat do act ghetto, believe it or not there's a fucking underlying factor than they just choose to be that way, wait, I forgot, you're only capable of the most basic of thoughts.
That's funny, I thought I'd pointed out I find many black people congenial just for some reason not American ones. I never mentioned 'ghetto', you did. Seems like one of us has a one track mind anyway. I was thinking more of just not being interested in the same things, not having the same approach to life.
There is also the unreasoning hostility of course, which you seem to exemplify. That doesn't do much to endear you to anybody.
I don't know what 'racist' means any more, it's definition seems to have expanded to include any kind of preference which results in something other than proportional representation. It used to mean believing one 'race' (a meaningless word) was better or more deserving than another. I don't believe that. I do like some people more than others based entirely on their behavior.
There, I gave you my frank view and you have tried to shut me down by calling me ugly names. So who is it exactly who isn't allowed to have their views here?
yeah bro!
you think your superior huh?
kill whitey!!!
