Sacramento County reports its first human case of West Nile virus in 2026 — a woman in her 60s who’s recovering — marking California’s second case this year. While most infected show no symptoms, some may develop fever, headaches, or vomiting, and rare cases can lead to serious neurological issues. Health officials urge everyone to use repellent, wear long sleeves during dawn and dusk, and eliminate standing water to curb mosquito breeding. A positive mosquito sample and a dead bird test confirm the virus is active in the area — stay alert and protect yourself.
