It's nothing to play with. I had a mild case a few years back and it was like having the flu for a month.

We have had four cases so far reported in my county alone. I only worry because mosquitoes absolutely adore me. If I'm outside for more than a minute, it's a guaranteed bite and I'm allergic to DEET. Ugh.
