Protect yourself from West Nile Virus

It’s time to break out the mosquito repellent to protect yourself from the West Nile virus.
The best way to reduce your risk is to prevent mosquito bites. Cover-up when outdoors, especially at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. Use bug spray with DEET or Icaridin.
Eliminate standing water around your home and check rain barrels, old tires, bird baths, outdoor pet dishes, and boats.
If you have questions about West Nile or are concerned about symptoms, call Health Link at 811. For more information visit https://albertahealthservices.ca/news/Page15156.aspx
