Daughter-In-Law Of Woman Hospitalized With West Nile Virus Shares Her Story

CORONA (CBSLA.com) — Last month, Dolores Farnsworth was horseback riding with her granddaughter in Norco.

But on Tuesday night, she remained in the intensive-care unit of a hospital battling West Nile virus.

"It's hard to see her like that in the hospital especially she because she was perfectly healthy right before this all happened," Vanessa Muro, her daughter-in-law, said.

"She can't move. She can't speak. They have machines on her legs contracting her legs so it allows blood to flow so she doesn't get any blood clots," Muro added.

Muro shared her mother in-law's story hoping to prevent protesters from showing up again on Wednesday in Corona as they had last week to stop Mosquito & Vector Control from mosquito fogging.

Starting at 3 a.m. Wednesday, vector control trucks are scheduled to spray the area along Adobe Avenue from Manzanita Road to Mirage Way and along Mirage Way to Sage Avenue.

But the move hasn't been met without controversy as some neighbors are concerned about the spraying and their health.

According to the Riverside County Department of Public Health, there have been 16 cases of West Nile virus this year and one death.

"I just don't want anybody else going through what we're all going through right now. It's scary," Muro said.
