There can be many causes like high blood pressure, cervical spondylosis and poor eyesight being a few. So every one with headaches should not think he is suffering from migraine.

Mosquitoes and the West Nile Virus As you have probably noticed, West Nile Virus has been in the news quite a bit in the last year. It is one of the newer bugs that is really nasty. Believed to be a variant of such viruses as Yellow Fever, Encephalitis and Dengue Fever, this virus is equally vicious. It has the ability to bypass the blood-brain barrier, which means it can infect brain material. When it does this, it usually takes the form of encephalitis or swelling of the brain. It can also take the form of meningitis, which is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Obviously, none of these developments are good. As with the diseases it is associated with above, our friend the mosquito transmits West Nile Virus. If ever there was a hardy bug, it is the mosquito. It can carry practically any deadly virus and pass it on to humans and animals...
