A single sample of mosquitos has tested positive for the West Nile Virus in the Ocean Pines area.
It’s the first such result this year.
Worcester County Health Department recommendations range from urging people to stay indoors at dawn and dusk and wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants to cleaning up any mosquito breeding areas such as standing water.
Officials note that most people infected with West Nile virus show no symptoms.
But some people can experience swollen lymph glands, a rash, fever, headaches and disorientation.
