I might have had West Nile back in May here in North Texas and didn't even know it. All I know is that I was sick for 3 days with flu-like symptoms except it wasn't the flu as no respiratory issues. I had those body aches, fever, and no energy. I'll tell you, though, that if I didn't have it back in May...then I don't see how I got by in July without getting it. Unfortunately, we were doing some work on the front door which required it to be open and every mosquito around just came on in. They all ended up biting me later. I had bites all up and down my legs. Itchy legs. I guess this means I'm immune going forward? Woo hoo!
I live near Volente. But the infecting mosquitos could have bitten anywhere because they bite me where ever I go.
