West Nile Interviews

Haylen_WebMD_Staff posted:

Do you know someone in Texas or elsewhere who is currently battling West Nile or has a family member who is? As we expand our coverage of the West Nile outbreak, WebMD would like to interview some of our members for first-person accounts on the disease.

If you know someone who might like to be interviewed or have information to share, please email us at communitymanagement@webmd.net and put "West Nile" in the subject line.

Thank you!
The WebMD Staff

Thankfully I do not know someone....however, my sister went to highschool with a guy whose nephew is in a coma from it. He suffers from encephylitis (sp?). It breaks my heart....7 years old

We all have so many bites on us and my husband sprays the bushes every weekend (which probably is harmful since they are chemicals) but it is so freaking scary!

Me (29), DH (31), DS1 - Michael (5 1/2) and DS2 - Nathan (2 1/2 - severe peanut allergy and an egg allergy)

Well, I suppose that is one good thing about this drought. I heard on the news that West Nile shouldn't be as bad around here because there isn't much water.
