You're still unlikely to catch WNV in Toronto but here's what you can do to reduce mosquito bites:
- use DEET or icaridin
- cover up, wear light-coloured clothing (sorry goths)
- dump out standing water

#SARS is bad enough but you can (sort of) isolate the cases
Birds have wings and know how to use them.
#WestNileVirus is mosquito-borne and borne by birds, but we know how to handle mosquitos (also sort of).
Rule #1 Don't kiss your chickens. They're tasty when burnt, but #salmonella isn't fun either.
