tact their medical provider
regarding product usage on
children under age two.
The insects use blood to
produce their eggs therefore
only the female will bite.

coordinator of health servic-
es for the Cleveland County
Health Department. One
bird was found on Phifer
Road in the Kings Mountain
area.
“People need to be cau-
tious and get rid of anything
that contains water,” he
said.
The Asian Tiger Mosquito,
which carries West Nile,
only breeds in containers.
Because the eggs take seven
days to mature, emptying
pet water bowls, bird baths
and other outdoor contain-
ers twice weekly should pre-
vent the eggs from making it
to maturity, Lockridge said.
The insects can travel 500
yards from their birthplace
meaning.
Blue jays, cardinals, crows
and birds of prey, including
owls and hawks, are treated
as indicator species, mean-
ing that if the virus is detect-
ed in them, it can be
assumed area mosquitoes
are carrying West Nile.
Anyone finding one of
these species should contact
animal control if the bird
appears to have been dead
less than 24 hours. Using
gloves or a tool, the bird
should be put into a contain-
er and placed out of direct
sunlight. Animals control
officers will then pick the
bird up and send it to a state
lab for testing. Animal con-

venturing outside in the

Lockridge said.
Mosquitoes do not prefer
light clothing over dark
clothing, according to
Lockridge. The insects are
alerted to potential victims
by the odor of carbon diox-
ide emitted by respiration.
virus has caused 277 deaths.
Susceptibility to the virus is
based on the strength of an
individual's immune sys-
tem. :
The county has applied
for a $5,000 matching state
grant to be used for public
education.
“Prevention is the only
solution,” Lockridge said.
