Orange County residents are being asked to take precautions after health officials found mosquito samples testing positive for West Nile virus in Anaheim and Garden Grove.
The Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District confirmed the samples, officials said Tuesday.
To avoid virus-carrying mosquitoes, health experts recommend finding and disposing of standing water to eliminate breeding grounds. Residents can take precautions by wearing mosquito repellent when mosquitoes are most active, at dawn and dusk.
People infected with the virus generally experience mild symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. People over age 50 and people with underlying health problems can develop more serious health problems if they are infected with the virus.
