Historical report preserved from an archived 2007 WKRG story.
A Mobile County health report described a Semmes woman in her 40s recovering at home while officials evaluated a suspected West Nile virus case in 2007.
The report said that, if confirmed, it would have been the county’s second case that year. It described West Nile as mosquito-borne and potentially serious.
The Mobile County Health Department shared precautions including wearing loose, light-colored clothing, covering arms and legs when possible, and avoiding strongly scented products that could attract mosquitoes.
