Most municipalities will begin fogging areas for mosquitos with chemical pesticides once they have discovered West Nile virus. That usually means at least one person has been bitten. The incubation period in humans meaning time from infection to when you see disease symptoms for West Nile encephalitis usually runs three to 15 days. Why run risk of waiting to become a victim?

Symptoms of West Nile Virus Most infections are mild, and symptoms include fever, headache, and body aches, occasionally with skin rash and swollen lymph glands. More severe infection may be marked by headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, paralysis, and, rarely, death.

Better to not take risk and drink apple cider vinegar. While prospect of drinking two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar may sound like a disgusting horrible taste, two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar when mixed into eight or 10 or 12 ounces of water does not taste bad. In fact, you can hardly taste vinegar. Another tip is to mix some apple cider vinegar in your pet?s food. It can help protect them from mosquitos and flies as well. You can find some companies selling apple cider vinegar capsules as a diet aid. (Apple cider vinegar for dieting is also mentioned in my ebook entitled ?Vinegar Magic?.)

Like they say about Chicken soup, ?It couldn?t hurt.? Be careful when using vinegar. Remember it is acidic so don?t take to much thru day. Think of it like salad dressing without oil and salad. Like all things use common sense. If you have stomach or other problems, check with your professional care giver.
