West Nile Mosquitoes in Fort Frances

Northwestern Ontario has its second case of West Nile positive
mosquitos.
The positive insects were found in 2-traps in the Fort Frances area.
The Northwestern Health Unit stresses the chance of becoming
seriously ill is extremely low.
However, local residents are still urged to drain standing water on
their property and to wear bug dope and long sleeves at night.
The first case of positive mosquitoes was reported last month in
Dryden.
