ROYAL OAK, Mi. (My TV 20 News at Ten) --- A case of the West Nile Virus has been identified in a wild Turkey in Saginaw.

Our Jorge Avellan spoke with a doctor and will tell us what you should know before you head outside.

Doctors say the virus came a lot earlier this year because of the short winter we had.
