Source: Appeal-Democrat, Marysville, Calif.迷你倉Sept. 20--As many as 14 human cases of West Nile virus could be confirmed in Yuba County in the coming days and weeks according to the Yuba County Health and Human Services Department."We want people to do all the things they are suppose to do to avoid getting bit," said Dr. Michael Kinnison, interim health officer.He said Thursday that of the 14 probable cases, "nine of them are highly probable."The process of going from probable, following a positive West Nile virus blood test, to confirmed, when a second blood test for the virus comes back positive, can take about six weeks, Kinnison said."We don't close these cases until we are absolutely certain," he said. "Right now, we are looking at probably a record high for Yuba County."Probable West Nile virus cases are effecting five people in Marysville, four in Olivehurst, three in Plumas Lake, one in Wheatland and one in Dobbins, Kinnison said.Dan Frizzell, 69, is one of those probable cases.The Olivehurst resident visited a Roseville hospital emergency room three times in July before being admitted for four days.Frizzell said his temperature got up to 101 and 103 degrees and stayed there."I ached all over," he said. "I damn near died in the hospital." Frizzell, who is disabled, said he hadn't been 迷你倉最平nywhere, so he feels strongly he got the virus in Olivehurst.He said his primary physician told him he had West Nile virus on July 30.Frizzell is frustrated that word of his probable case of the virus has yet to be confirmed at the county and state level. "Everybody needs to know if they are going outside to wear mosquito repellent with DEET in it," he said."Nobody wants this," Frizzell said. "I've had it nine weeks, and I'm still dealing with it."Two new cases of West Nile virus were confirmed earlier this week in Sutter County, bringing its 2013 total to seven cases.Over the last two weeks, "the mosquitoes that we've been testing have been negative for West Nile virus," said Michael Kimball, district manager at Sutter-Yuba Mosquito & Vector Control District. "We are winding down our mosquito season," and "the cooler temperatures have helped."Kinnison said no new cases of West Nile virus have been identified thus far in September."By the time we get well into the fall, the risk drops tremendously," Kinnison said.CONTACT David Bitton at 749-4796.
