The Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District (GLACVCD) confirmed West Nile virus activity for the first time this year in La Mirada.
Government officials and educators: GLACVCD offers a variety of digital content on our website’s Resources page. Please assist us in providing this information to residents.
GLACVCD encourages residents to take the following safety precautions to protect against mosquito-borne diseases:
Eliminate or manage all sources of standing water to discourage mosquito breeding every week. The work residents do now will make a big difference. If you are outdoors when mosquitoes are biting, wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts and use an insect repellent containing EPA-registered active ingredients such as DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, and Oil of lemon eucalyptus (PMD). Always apply according to label instructions. Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes.
Contact us at 562-944-9656 or visit glacvcd.org if there is a significant problem or potential mosquito breeding source where you live or work. West Nile virus is transmitted to people and animals through the bite of an infected mosquito.
There is no cure for West Nile virus. One in five persons infected with West Nile virus will exhibit symptoms. Symptoms usually occur between five and 15 days, and can include fever, headache, body aches, nausea, or a skin rash. These symptoms can last for several weeks to months.
One in 150 people infected with the virus will become extremely ill. Severe symptoms include high fever, muscle weakness, neck stiffness, coma, paralysis, and possibly death.

This is a direct result of flood control system mismanagement (County Supervisors) , the LA River has been taken over by LA’s scum development monger-looters, they diverted the dedicated flood control district maintenance revenue stream from flood control district maintenance into public pork projects.
“forget the flood channel maintenance and obligation to protect public health and NOT CREATE MOSQUITO HABITAT, let it decay and fill with silt and debris, El Nino will clear it all away, lets build graffittiscape instead”
That’s what they did.
Trees, weeds and debris now pool water everywhere along the river to create a natural “mosquito habitat” running through America’s driest county.
The LA Flood control system infrastruicture has been looted, with the funds diverted to the County’s cadre of looter-contractors and environmentalist groups.
The LA River is for flood control, not contractor looting.
BTW the looter mob increased the county’s debt on it’s existing already paid for infrastructure (they took out an equity loan and spent it like in Bell). Oh did the increased debt add any value? No
