West Nile Virus - 09/01/02 10:59 PM
There is real concern among parents about the West Nile Virus. As far as I know at this time all those who have perished from the virus were older adults but it's still causing some fear among parents.
What are you doing, if anything, differently? How big of a concern do you think it is?
I have a creek that runs across the back of my property and there have been confirmed cases of the virus within 20 miles of my home, so I'm very concerned. I am keeping my kids in during the peak hours of dusk and dawn. When we do go out, we keep our eyes open.
We talked to our older kids about it and explained what they need to watch for too. Have you talked with your kids? What are you saying?
