Can you get west Nile virus multiple times?
No, it's unlikely to get West Nile virus multiple times.
West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne disease that can cause a range of symptoms, from mild fever to severe encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Once a person has been infected with West Nile virus, they develop antibodies against the virus, which typically provides immunity from future infections.
Therefore, it is very unlikely for someone to get West Nile virus more than once. However, it is important to note that there are other mosquito-borne diseases that can cause similar symptoms to West Nile virus, so it is possible for someone to be infected with multiple different mosquito-borne diseases over time.
