• West Nile Virus Detected Months Early in San Antonio and Dallas Metro as Mosquito Season Heats Up (medicaldaily.com) — West Nile virus has been detected unusually early in a mosquito trap near Hillcrest Drive and Bandera Road in northwest San Antonio, prompting Metro Health to fog the area and treat standing water. No human cases have been reported yet, but officials urge residents to wear long sleeves, use EPA-approved repellents, and aggressively remove standing water as hot, wet weather boosts mosquito activity.
• How to protect your pets and animals from screwworm (ksat.com) — San Antonio pet and livestock owners are being warned about New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite recently confirmed in several Texas cases, including nearby Gillespie County. Local experts explain how to spot suspicious wounds, when to call authorities and a vet, and why careful inspection—not panic or unnecessary travel with sick animals—is key to protecting your animals.
