State health officials say the recent discovery of a group of mosquitoes carrying the West Nile Virus is the first case this year in Georgia. The mosquitoes were trapped in a Fulton County park in an area of Atlanta called Buckhead. But they are cautioning Georgians not to panic -- because the virus is in bugs, not a person. Last year there were 50- human cases of West Nile Virus related illnesses and one death. State health officials say Georgians should use bug repellant when outside and emptying stagnate water from flower pots and buckets.
