educating people on mitigating
their environment will help with
prevention,” she said.
Coots isn’t the only official con
cerned with educating people
across Oregon, however.
Dr. Emilio DeBess, a public
health veterinarian with the Ore
gon Department of Human Ser
vices, said lack of public knowledge
about the virus is a major reason
why it has spread.
“We’re all highly susceptible,”
he said.
DeBess added that DHS wants to
provide people with basic facts
about the virus, along with steps
they can take to reduce the likeli
hood of infection.
Officials at DHS have mainly em
phasized the importance of avoid
ing mosquito bites, and have start
ed a hot line for prevention advice.
Some examples on preventing mos
quito bites include changing water
in bird baths, installing tight-fitting
screens on doors and windows and
avoiding outdoor activity at dawn
or dusk. For more information,
people may call the toll-free hot
line at (866) 703-4636.
More than 4,000 people across
the United States have been infect
ed with the virus. Nearly 300 of
those infected have died.
The symptoms of the virus vary
from flu-like, such as headache or

sore throat, to West Nile fever or
meningitis. Only 10 to 20 percent
of those infected will develop seri
ous symptoms, only 1 in 150 of
those people will face death.
Dr. Grant Higginson, a public
health officer with DHS, said in a
statement that the high-risk groups
for contracting the virus are people
50 years of age or older and those
with paralysis or severe weakness. *
“Use common sense,” he said.
“When it is reported in Oregon,
don’t panic ... on the one hand,
we’ve had nearly 4,071 laboratory
confirmed human cases in this
country and (277) deaths. On the
other, deaths from West Nile Virus
are about a tenth of those we see
from influenza.”
