There's a confirmed case of LaCrosse Encephalitis in Muskingum County.
...
"The state of Ohio averages about 10 to 15 cases of this virus per year," said Hemmer. "This is, by no means, anything out of the ordinary, but we do take precaution when this virus does surface."
The health department is advising people to use repellents that contain DEET, and if you develop symptoms, ask your doctor to take a blood test.
