• Los Angeles County reports year's 1st West Nile virus death (heysocal.com) — Pasadena residents should know that the city tracks its own West Nile virus data separately from Los Angeles County, which just reported this year's first virus-related death and above-average infections. Health officials urge everyone in the region to use insect repellent, eliminate standing water, and check window and door screens as August and September bring peak mosquito activity.
