Mosquitoes can potentially transmit diseases like West Nile Virus to humans.
TCPH officials said in a press release that the individual involved contracted the more serious neuroinvasive form of the disease. TCPH did not release any other details about the person"to protect the identity of the patient."
The mild form of the disease, which is more common, is referred to as West Nile fever. Symptoms for West Nile fever include headache, fever, muscle and joint aches, nausea and fatigue. People typically recover on their own, although symptoms may last for several weeks, according to TCPH.
