West Nile Virus is most commonly spread by infected mosquitoes.
People with West Nile Virus typically develop symptoms between three and 14 days after they are bitten. According to the CDC, approximately 80% of people who are infected will not show any symptoms at all, but there is no way to know in advance if you will develop the illness. Less than 1% of people develop serious symptoms.
The man in his 80s was the second confirmed case in the county. In August, health officials confirmed the first case in a woman in her 60s, who has since been released from the hospital.
She lives in the 77365 zip code.
