West Nile virus in Beverly

Last night on Chicago Tonight, they mentioned that mosquitoes with West Nile virus have been detected in Beverly. 

Here's more info about West Nile virus. If you want current data from Chicago Dept. of Public Health, here's where you can find it.

Here are some suggested precautions related to your landscape and gardening. Using mosquito repellent is a good idea right now, even in daytime. I got some bites yesterday morning when I went out to harvest from my veggie garden. There are plenty of mosquitoes active in the neighborhood.
