             With all the different things going on in Ontario it's surprising we are not doing worse. As if SARS, West Nile, Mad cow and the Mega black out was not enough we have to top it off with a hurricane, how much more can we take?.
             When the SARS epidemic started Mid-March of 2003 the World Health Organization (WHO) first alerted countries to the global SARS threat. Over 90% of people with SARS were health care workers and people who were in very close proximity to heath care workers. Some symptoms of SARS are body aches and pain, chills, coughs, dizziness, fatigue, fever, headaches, painful breathing, sneezing and sore throat. Although SARS active case numbers have lowered the concern is still out there, Experts say the best protection is as easy as washing your hands. .
             However, West Nile is something that requires a little more effort than hand washing. Most people who are in fact infected with West Nile do not experience any form of illness at all, however 20% of the people infected with West Nile may experience West Nile Fever: mild symptoms including fever, headaches, and body aches. Also some people may experience symptoms of a sever infection which would include high fever, comas, tremors, neck stillness, convulsions, and many other serious symptoms. The best way to protect yourself from West Nile is to follow 3 easy steps: Avoid Mosquito bites by using a DEET based bug spray and wear light coloured clothing when outside, Mosquito Proof Your Home by removing any still water from your home area including bird baths, and finally Help Your Community by reporting any dead birds so they can be tested for West Nile.
