West Nile Virus Found on Bateman Island
With all the muggy weather we've been having, you've got to look out for those bloodsuckin' mosquitoes.
The Benton County Mosquito Control District tested some mosquitoes from Bateman Island. The results came back positive, so the BCMCD will be treating the area.
Make sure you're stocked up on good repellents. Don't leave water in the kiddie pool, unless you want to start a baby mosquito farm. Stay inside during dusk and dawn (unless you gotta work) and wear light-colored clothing.
