An elderly Oakland county man is believed to be the state's second victim of the West Nile virus.

Health officials says the man who died Sunday was 90-years-old.

Last week state health officials announced a 65-year-old Ferndale man is believed to have died from the virus.

At least two other people in Michigan, one of them a toddler, are thought to be infected with the virus transmitted by mosquitoes.

Mosquito Protection Tips

• Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, hats and boots to reduce exposed skin.

• Limit outdoor activities between dusk and dawn.

• Apply repellent liberally to all exposed skin areas.

• Apply repellents to clothing, shoes, tents, mosquito nets, and other gear.

• Use mosquito coils (ensure coils do not contain DDT).

• Sleep in well-screened areas whenever possible.

• Ensure that door and window screens fit tightly and do not have holes.

• Insect repellents that contain 30-35 percent DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) will provide adults with sufficient protection. The concentration of DEET in a repellent should not exceed 35 percent. Products with lower concentrations of DEET are effective but for a shorter period of time.

• Reducing the amount of standing water on your property can significantly decrease the potential for mosquito breeding around your home.

• Common breeding sites may include garbage cans, clogged roof gutters/drainage ditches, birdbaths, pool covers, flowerpots, tires, tarps, rainwater barrels, wading pools etc.

• Containers that may accumulate water should be removed or holes drilled in the bottom.

• Pools should be maintained and ornamental pools aerated or stocked with fish.
