This is getting out of hand.
I worry about my little boy cause no matter what I spray on him or "pour" on him he always comes back in after playing with skeeter bites on him.

I think it was 2 years ago that a man told me he knew of at least one case of West Nile that (he says) was diagnosed but he didn't think it was reported... or at least made public. I wonder if we're hearing it all?
