The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is reminding people to protect themselves from mosquito bites following the first confirmed human case this year of West Nile virus. The virus was confirmed in a Sheboygan County resident. Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says the report is a reminder of the continued importance of taking precautions to prevent mosquito bites and the viruses they carry as we move into the fall.

Mueller says most people won’t have any symptoms. Despite cooler temperatures, mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile virus will continue until the first hard frost.
