WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Mosquitoes infected with West Nile Virus have been found in Woodbridge.
The infected bugs carry the virus which can be spread to humans, horses, and other mammals. When contracted, the virus causes mild, flu-like symptoms, but those over 50-years-old can develop more serious illnesses such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord), according to the Prince William County Health District.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. – A man reported missing was later found dead in Lake Montclair.

“If we don’t institute a hands-free phone ban, then we should allow someone to drink from a straw from a bottle Jim Beam while behind the wheel,” said Anderson.
