Mosquitoes in Douglas County are carrying West Nile and Jamestown Canyon viruses — here’s what you need to know to stay safe this season. Officials confirmed three positive samples, urging residents to avoid bites and eliminate standing water. While most people show no symptoms, these viruses can cause serious brain inflammation, fever, headaches, and even hospitalization. Last year, 26 Jamestown Canyon cases nationwide led to 17 hospitalizations, and 51 West Nile cases in Nebraska saw 21 requiring hospital stays. No vaccines or cures exist — so protect yourself with bug spray, long sleeves, and diligent water drainage.
