Adams County Health Department Reports First Death of the Season from West Nile Virus Infection
Adams County Health Department (ACHD) officials confirmed the first death from West Nile virus, an adult resident, within the county this year.
West Nile virus is spread to people through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Most infected with the virus do not have symptoms.

Serious, potentially deadly neurologic illness occurs in fewer than one in 100 infected people.
