MUNCIE, Ind. — James Whitley spent around a month in the hospital last August after a mosquito carrying West Nile Virus bit him. The problem, and this happens to all patients, he did not know he was infected until he started showing symptoms.

The Indiana Department of Public Health says people need a doctor’s exam to know they have West Nile Virus. Some of the common symptoms include headaches, high fever, muscle weakness, stiff neck and confusion. Confusion is a symptom still plaguing Whitley’s life now.
