Some local outdoor activities here in North Texas came to a HALT this summer due to the West Nile virus, which is spread by certain mosquitoes from birds to humans.

I live in Dallas County, which has the largest number of cases this year. As of today, 13 people have died from this serious illness in my local county this year, and several more in the adjacent counties. Due to weather this year and the behavior of birds when it is very dry (looking for stagnant ponds for water), this is suddenly the US hotbed of this deadly disease.

And thanks, janusz. I needed someone to advise me to spell advice correctly.
