Dear Brookes, Very much value from your research. I read this morning that the West Nile Virus is expected to spread across the country in the near future. After putting down the newspaper, I decided to give our family(small children) a shot of CS a day. Then , I opened my emails and now am unsure. These mosquitoes in south Florida are nasty and abundant. Do you , Brookes, or anyone out there have an opinion about prophylactic use of CS to prevent against West Nile?
