    I mean how bad can West Nile virus be? Also, presumably you'd only catch it once and then you're immune.
    CDC: West Nile Virus - What You Need To Know

    About one in 150 people infected with WNV will develop severe illness. The severe symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent.
