A local Tejano singer's life was altered after a mosquito bite two years ago. The incident has left him in a wheelchair, serving as a warning about the dangers of West Nile. Health officials are now cautioning that the record mosquito surge in southeast Texas this summer may put many others at risk.

Further details about the situation, including the declaration of a public health emergency in Fort Bend County, are available from local news sources, such as KPRC 2.
