West Nile Virus

I was eaten alive yesterday by mosquitos and now it looks like I have chicken pox. They itch like crazy! Anyway, I was in the break room at work and one of my co-workers says there have been 3 cases of West Nile Virus in Minnesota this summer and that her neighbor got it last year and was hospitalized for 6 weeks! Then my other co-worker says her aunt had it and was hospitalized.

So now I probably have West Nile Virus!

Have you or anyone you know had it?

Get it checked out. Most likely, you don't have it.

So instead of going to the doctor, you're posting to the Org? confused

If you had West Nile, you'd know it.

Thanks for the links everyone. I was just curious if anybody had experienced it.

I'm not being patronizing. If you had West Nile, you would know it. Patronizing is more YOUR style, btw.

I was being purposely jokingly irrational about the West Nile part. Not the rest of it though. Tell me about the experiences you know of.
