We have had one West Nile case and I know Colorado has had SEVERAL deaths.It
also can be a risk if you donate or receive blood donations from a person who
has contracted[even unknowingly] the virus.Apparently young children, immune
system compromised individuals and the elderly are most likely victims.

Covering the container with cheesecloth is
sufficent to keep out the critters and other
