First cases of West Nile virus infection in Slovenia
The first cases of West Nile virus infection have been confirmed in the north-eastern part of Slovenia. The National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) has confirmed three cases in the Pomurska and Podravska regions, marking the first indigenous infections after five seasons without any detected cases.
For more details see 24ur.
How is West Nile virus transmitted?
Infected mosquitoes are the carriers of the virus. Most people do not get sick when they are bitten, but a small minority develop a short-lived febrile illness. Mosquitoes become infected by sucking the blood of infected birds, which are a natural reservoir of the virus. Other routes of transmission are rare and include blood transfusions, donated organs, mother-to-child transmission and via breast milk.
"What is particularly interesting is that they contracted the infection here, so these are indigenous infections, not introduced from abroad."
Božena Kotnik Kevorkijan - Head of Department

Symptoms and course of the disease
After infection, the first symptoms may appear within three to 14 days. Most people who are infected do not develop symptoms at all. But those who do get sick may experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches and tiredness. In rare cases, about one person in 150, a more severe form of the disease affecting the central nervous system may develop.
Preventive measures
To reduce the risk of infection, it is essential to take preventive measures:
Use repellents
Wear appropriate clothing such as long trousers and long sleeves.
Install screens on windows and doors to prevent mosquitoes from entering.
Remove standing water around the home as it is an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.

A wonderful cream, kid-friendly. Of course, I was a bit skeptical, but luckily a friend convinced me to give it a try and our family was able to see the results from the start.
My family now uses this cream on a daily basis!
I highly recommend it. Great job!

Great product
I tried the cream on vacation in Sri Lanka, where we walked through tropical forests. The cream works great! Sometimes I use it as a skin freshener, because it smells very nice. I recommend buying 10/10!
