Three mosquitos collected by the Allegheny County Health Department last week have tested positive for West Nile Virus.
They were collected in Point Breeze, the North Side and Wilkinsburg. So far, there have been no reported human cases in the county this year.
There have been no reported cases of someone contracting the virus since last October, only 1 in 5 people actually feel symptoms from the virus.
In the case of transmission look for symptoms such as fever, headache, and vomiting.
Most symptoms can go away within 3 to 6 days. For serious cases of illness seek help from a medical professional.
The health department suggests taking steps to protect themselves from mosquitoes like removing standing water in our yard and using bug spray.
