All you mommies out there need to keep your kids protected from misquitos. It was in the paper this mornng the west nile virus is in southern florida. I dont know how many of us live down there but i am buying those off clipons for my kids. It is the anolpholis misquitos that carry them (misquitos with whte stripes on there legs) So please protect yourself and your LOs from misquiots as much as possible. Here is a list if symtoms should you need them.

What are the symptoms?
About 80 out of 100 people who have West Nile have no symptoms.2 When symptoms do appear, they begin 3 to 14 days after the mosquito bite. Mild symptoms include:

A fever.
Headaches, body aches, or pain in your eyes.
A rash, usually on the chest, back, and arms.
Feeling very tired.
Not feeling hungry.
Feeling sick to your stomach or throwing up.
Swollen glands (lymph nodes), in rare cases.
In mild cases of West Nile, symptoms usually last for 3 to 6 days. If you get a more severe case of West Nile, symptoms can last for weeks or months. Severe cases that involve problems with the brain and spinal cord are rare, but they may cause:

Headaches.
A high fever.
A stiff neck or paralysis.
Confusion.
Reduced attention to surroundings.
Tremors, convulsions, or muscle weakness.
A coma.
In rare cases, West Nile virus can cause death
