There's a word of warning about the West Nile Virus. The state Health Department expects a significant number of Culex mosquitoes which spread the neurological disease.

The mosquitoes get West Nile by biting infected birds. Last year 262-people nationwide died from the disease. In Oklahoma, 79-people were diagnosed, but there were no deaths.

Already this year, there is one confirmed case in Ohio.
