Mosquito buzzing]
Have you heard the buzz about West Nile virus? Protect yourself
and your family from the mosquito bites that spread the virus.
Use mosquito repellent when you go outside. When possible, wear
long-sleeved shirts and pants. Remove standing water, where mosquitoes
breed. Most people who get West Nile virus don't feel sick, but
it may cause serious illness. Fight the bite! Tell mosquitoes
to buzz off!

¿Ha
oído hablar del virus West Nile? Protéjase de las
picaduras de los zancudos que trasmiten el virus. Use repelente
cuando salga al aire libre. Si puede, use camisas de manga larga
y pantalones. Bote las aguas estancadas porque son criaderos de
mosquitos. Muchas personas infectadas no se sienten enfermas,
pero el virus West Nile puede causarles enfermedades graves. ¡No
se dejen picar! ¡Fuera con los zancudos!
