| Intro West Nile Return to index of stories... |
If you've been outside at all this spring - chances are you've been bitten by a mosquito. Unless, of course, you were smart enough to wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt and bug repellant. These days mosquito bites aren't just annoying - they can transmit the West Nile Virus. Dr. Jose Montero - chief of disease control - was kind enough to leave his bug free office and meet us in the woods to talk about protecting ourselves from mosquito bites. And we want to stress the word " kind " because he wasn't wearing any bug spray - and as you'll see, it didn't take the mosquitos very long to find him. |

Dr. Montero goes over the following questions on West Nile Virus. What is west nile? The symptoms of west nile. How west nile effects lowered immune systems. What people should do before they head outside. Is deet the most effective way to prevent bites? |

SCA Chip Neal visits a gathering of the Society of Creative Anachronism where 1500 people in medeval costumns play the roles of middle ages characters in the setting of a market day at Birka, an eighth century swedish settlement. We see clothes and jewelry as well as armor for sale. Their was belly dancing and armored combat and fencing as well as music and a Queen to be knelt down to whenever she passed by. The Society for Creative Anachronism is a world-wide organization started in California back in the 1960's dedicated to creating an anachronism by bringing the medeval times up to the present. |
