- West Nile virus prevention
With the reports of the most recent Oklahoma deaths due to this virus, Fort Sill wants to remind us of some ways to help prevent this virus from affecting our soldiers and loved ones. First, we must protect ourselves from mosquito bites, by removing any standing water, and using insect repellent containing at least 30 percent DEET. Next, we can wear long sleeves and pants, and finally, avoid areas near water or wetlands.
