IT'S TIME TO TAKE HEED OF SOME GOOD ADVISE. DOCTOR PAUL SMITH WITH THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS LAST WEEK'S NEWS THAT MOSQUITOS HAD TESTED POSITIVE FOR WEST NILE VIRUS SHOULD BE A HEADS-UP. HE SAYS IT'S BEST TO BE PRO-ACTIVE IN PROTECTING YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY.
HE SAYS GET RID OF STANDING WATER … RAIN OR OTHERWISE … FROM FLOWER POTS, BUCKETS, AND PET BOWLS LEFT OUTSIDE. THAT'S WHERE MOSQUITOS BREED. HE'S ALSO REMINDING HORSE OWNERS TO GET THEIR ANIMALS VACCINATED AS WEST NILE VIRUS POSES A THREAT TO THOSE THEM AS WELL.
