In the News--Cholera and West Nile virus

August 17, 2012 Yahoo Health used this headlines that caught my attention because of my recent blog posts.  The first was “tourists in Nepal warned over cholera outbreak”  The officials in Nepal were reporting 13 deaths due to cholera.  This information can be found at  http://health.yahoo.net/news/s/afp/tourists-in-nepal-warned-over-cholera-outbreak

The second headline reads “West Nile cases rise 40 percent in one week.”  I talked about West Nile virus, the mosquito that carries it and how we can protect ourselves from this illness on August 19 and 21^st.  The Yahoo news report can be found at http://health.yahoo.net/news/s/ap/cdc-west-nile-cases-rise-40-percent-in-1-week  (August 29, 2012)
