I am south of I-30 in Arlington.

Spent an hour in the morning outside cleaning the pool. Not one mosquito in sight. Just spent two hours outside vacuuming and cleaning SUV and small car. Again, no mosquitos and I did not use repellants.

LOL.

They did spray last night. I think it's typical overreaction. The people that this has affected are almost all people with severely compromised immune systems and other diseases, mostly elderly.

Of course, they freak out and overreact by dumping chemicals all over everyone. Annoying, to say the least.

Anyway, carry on.

Yeah, I can control mosquitoes. Do I need some kind of special shelter or something?

My wife got it about 8 years ago when went out to the lake. She lost her spleen when she was young so she doesn't have a lot in her to fight against stuff like that. It was a scary time for us. We had no clue about anything. One day she called me at work and said she couldn't feel her leg(kind of like it was asleep). I told her to keep me up to date if it got worse or better. She didn't want me to come home but was just letting me know. In about an hour she calls me and I could barely understand her. She sounded like she had a stroke. I rushed home to get her(at the time we had a 22 month old and a 6 month old) She was a little better when I got home, she could talk normal at least but had no clue what was going on. I took her to one of the docs I work with. He pulled me to the side and asked what drugs she was on, I told him none. He didn't believe me because by the time we had gotten into his office she could barely walk. I was having to carry her and had someone in the parking lot carry my 6 month old while my 22 month old walk beside us screaming because her mother was being very weird to her. Literally by the time we got into his office she couldn't talk, walk or anything. She would just look me in the eyes but couldn't communicate. We ended up going to the ER right around the corner right after we got there. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with her and thought she had taken some drugs.

Long story short after 1 day in the ER and two weeks in ICU she had gotten Wes Nile and it had turned into enephalitis. The reason she couldn't talk or walk was because of the swelling in the brain. It was a scary time for us. It took over a week for her to really come back to normal and to be able to talk to me. The reason it took two weeks in ICU is because they originally said she had meningitis. After 8 days they released her and the same thing happened again. When she went back in they put her in ICU and ended up figuring out what she had and how to treat it.

To this day she gets horrible headaches and the docs have all said it comes with the territory. When mosquitos get bad outside she doens't like it much.

Scary shit, glad she made it through that. I just saw on TV that the virus just claimed another life.

that`s what a doctor just mentioned on the news...compromised immune systems are at a much higher risk of developing dangerous symptoms....
