Health official says no West Nile in Mercer County yet
Mercer County health nurse Melody Rickman reports ongoing testing of dead birds with at least 10 specimens sent to a Georgia lab all returning negative. She notes that a positive result would end bird collection, as it signals local mosquito transmission risk and underscores the need to reduce breeding sites like flower pots, clogged gutters, and tire swings.

The West Virginia Department of Health urges steps to reduce mosquito breeding at home. Remove water-collecting containers and debris, drain temporary water, keep windows bug tight, chlorinate pools, and wear protective clothing in high-density areas. Use DEET repellents carefully and follow label instructions, especially with children.
