Attention: West Nile In Va
My dad works for the government up in Stafford, VA. Today they had to go put down some 50,000$ show horses that had contracted the west nile virus, they are officially putting out a notice of warning tomorrow but thought i'd let you guys know... i think its already going around(the word, not the virus) because there was something said about birds with it in chesterfield... so watch out for mosquitos
) and the mosquitos wouldnt leave me alone.. i'll use bugspray next time lol

I live up in Stafford and when my dad called about a crow last month the people didn't seem too interested about getting it for testing.
And I sure do have alot of mosquito bites from earlier.

It's already been here for awhile. It's not like it just disappeared. Any idea who's horse he did put down? I don't get it... They have medicin they can give cows and horses so that they don't get it. Kills the mesquitos before they can. They could spend like $100 to do it but they have to lose their many thousand dollar animals.
