Hi TubeN2.,
My wife is always preaching to me about west nile. She harps constantly in the spring and summer months because she knows how active I am outdoors. I do take the regular precautions such as repellant and avoid stagnant water collection areas. I've even heard that you should check around your house for possible mosquito breeding hotbeds, like old tires, buckets, wheelbarrows etc.etc.. Anywhere water can collect is a possible breeding ground. Its good to know that the chances of contracting wnv is slight, but we should all be extra careful. Thanks for the detailed info TubeN2[cool]
