What can campers and hikers do to protect against West Nile Virus?
Campers and hikers can limit their time outdoors at Dawn and Dusk, wear shoes, socks, long pants, and long sleeve shirts, and use insect repellant with DEET. For more information on prevention, see How to Protect Yourself. Campers should also check their tents to ensure screens are secure and free of holes or places mosquitoes can enter the tent. Mosquito nets may also be considered.
