West Nile Virus |
According to the Center for Disease Control, the West Nile Virus is carried by birds and transmitted to humans and other animals by mosquitoes. Early symptoms of people who get sick include fever, headaches and a stiff neck. Although unlikely, West Nile virus can lead to encephalitis and even death. People with weakened immune systems face the most threats from the virus. This week the CDC said that West Nile Virus is here to stay and that simple prevention methods, such as wearing insect repellent, are the best way to manage the epidemic.

Safety offers our customers The
10-Hour Insect Repellent® for mosquito protection.
Media outlets across the affected areas of the country (the East, the
Midwest and upper Midwest, Texas and the Gulf Coast) are reporting that
people should use insect repellents containing DEET.
The
10-Hour Insect Repellent® contains 100% DEET which
means there are no fillers, fragrances or other inert ingredients to get
in the way. The
10-Hour Insect Repellent® is
designed for the worker who will be outside all day long and doesn’t
want to reapply every hour or two.
It is formulated to not “sweat off.”
Order online at www.orrsafety.com or call 1-800-669-1677. * Please be aware that the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that the cautious approach of applying repellent on children is to use products with a low concentration of DEET (10% or less) on children aged 2-12. This product is not recommended for use on children. |
