A member asked:
Will west nile infections clear on their own? if you believe you have been bitten by a mosquito that potentially has it, should you pursue testing if you have some symptoms but they arent severe?

West Nile Virus: People with WNV usually have no/mild symptoms. These include fever, headache, body aches, skin rash, and swollen lymph glands. They usually go away on their own. If West Nile virus enters the brain, It may cause inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), or inflammation of the brain lining. See DR for high fever, bad headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, weakness, vision loss.
