West Nile Virus Home
State health officials are urging Hoosiers again this year to take steps to protect themselves from West Nile virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Health officials recommend that Hoosiers avoid being outdoors during prime mosquito biting times, dusk to dawn, when possible. Individuals are also advised to take the following protective steps when they are outdoors:
- Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaradin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to clothes and exposed skin;
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants.
