Colorado is experiencing the worst outbreak of West Nile virus (WNV) in the country this summer, according to UCHealth.
LOVELAND, Colo. — Colorado is experiencing the worst outbreak of West Nile virus in the country this summer.
“My primary care doctor said, 'OK, we're just going to throw the kitchen sink at you. And we're going to test you for absolutely everything and anything,'” Montez remembered. “The last test result that we got in was the positive West Nile." Montez said West Nile virus is not very common in Washington, so she and her family moved back to Colorado for medical care.
“I could not help my family at all take care of anything. My husband was doing all of the housework, taking care of our child. I wasn't able to work. It was just completely debilitating for several weeks. And it felt like every day it got worse, and it didn't get better," Montez explained. “I started to see additional symptoms where I was losing my balance. There were times that, you know, I would just be standing at the kitchen counter and almost fall over backwards.
