CLERMONT COUNTY, OH (FOX19) -

The first human case of West Nile virus in Ohio for 2012 has occurred in Clermont County.

An 85-year-old male tested positive for the virus on Friday.

According to the Ohio Department of Health, this case is about a month earlier than last year and is attributed to the warmer, dryer weather.

The Clermont County Health District recommends you take the following steps to reduce mosquito exposure:

Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, shoes, and socks if you are outdoors when mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. Light colors are least attractive to mosquitoes.
Use insect repellent and follow the label directions.
Eliminate containers that hold water such as tires, cans, and unused flower pots.
Make sure all roof gutters are properly draining. Clean and chlorinate outdoor pools, saunas, and hot tubs and when not in use, drain water from pool covers.
Change water in bird baths weekly.
