"Half of state's West Nile reports coming from Santa Clara County.  It's shaping up to be an active season for West Nile virus in Santa Clara County. Nearly half the dead birds in California that have tested positive for the virus this year have been found here.  But plans for a Tuesday evening fogging have outraged many West San Jose residents, who fear the county's large-scale spraying does more harm than good."
