West Nile Virus season.

Travis County health officials say they’ve confirmed 17 cases of West Nile virus. One death was confirmed in Travis County two weeks ago. In Williamson County, at least two human cases of West Nile are under investigation this year. Previously only five cases had been reported since 2002.


Prevention 
  • Dusk and Dawn: Try to stay indoors at dusk and dawn. That is the time when mosquitoes likely to carry the infection are most active.
  • Dress: Wear pants and long sleeves when you are outside.
  • DEET: Apply insect repellent that contains DEET. Read and follow label instructions. Spray both exposed skin and clothing with repellent.
  • Drain: Get rid of standing water in your yard and neighborhood. Old tires, flowerpots, clogged rain gutters, birdbaths and wading pools can be breeding sites for mosquitoes.  
To report a mosquito problem, 
call (512)978-0370

What Are the Symptoms of WNV?

  • Serious Symptoms in a Few People. About one in 150 people infected with WNV will develop severe illness. The severe symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent.
  • Milder Symptoms in Some People. Up to 20 percent of the people who become infected have symptoms such as fever, headache, and body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. Symptoms can last for as short as a few days, though even healthy people have become sick for several weeks.
  • No Symptoms in Most People. Approximately 80 percent of people (about 4 out of 5) who are infected with WNV will not show any symptoms at all.



    How Does West Nile Virus Spread

    Infected Mosquitoes. Most often, WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread WNV to humans and other animals when they bite.

    Transfusions, Transplants, and Mother-to-Child. In a very small number of cases, WNV also has been spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeeding and even during pregnancy from mother to baby.

    Not through touching. WNV is not spread through casual contact such as touching or kissing a person with the virus.

5 MANLY Summer Cocktails

Okay. I'll admit it. I sometimes wish I could order one of those huge cocktails with little pieces of fruit in it.. But I don't. Whether it is because I'm scared what the bartender will think of me or whether I'm more scared of my dates opinion, I'm not sure. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ever run into this dilemma so I put together a list of 5 manly cocktails you don't have to hang your head in shame over. 



1. Gin and Juice




Why is it manly?: Snoop Dogg likes to drink this when there are bitches in his living room gettin’ it on until six o’clock in the morning, so that has to be worth something. Gin and juice was also the morning cocktail of soldiers and officers in WWII. That’s right, this is what you drank right before you killed a bunch of Nazis. You can’t say that about Malibu and pineapple.
Recipe: 2 1/2 ounces Gin.
1 oz. orange juice.
Equal parts mind on your money and money on your mind




2. Manhattan:



Why is it manly: For starters it has man in the title. Though you may say "it’s got a cherry, nothing with a cherry is manly." Well, nibble on this: It’s notorious for being the favorite drink of the Italian Mafia, who are notorious for killing people. I’m not saying killing somebody makes you a man, but it’s probably not the best idea to call someone who just threw someone off a bridge a "cherry drinking pansy."Recipe:*3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
2 1/2 oz Rye whiskey dash Angostura bitters
1 Maraschino cherry


3. Tequila Sunrise



Why is it manly?:First off, it’s a breakfast cocktail. And secondly, "2 measures tequila" is short for, "as much tequila as your glass will hold." It may look a little fruity but it’s about as tropical as a back alley in Tijuana.
Recipe:
2 measures Tequila Orange juice
2 dashes Grenadine


















4. Rusty Nail



Why is it manly?: I can’t put my finger on exactly why, but there’s something oddly macho about asking your girlfriend if she would like to sip on your Rusty Nail.
¾ oz. scotch
¼ oz. Drambuie
1 ounce Campari
Slice of orange














5. Negroni




Why is it manly?: A pink drink? Didn’t see that one coming, did you? The Negroni is one of the simplest, most classically straight-up cocktails around. Plus it’s all booze: You’re not going to find any of those wimpy mixers in this bitter Italian stallion.


Recipe:
1 ounce gin
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce Campari
Slice of orange
