Patricia Heller was super-healthy, an avid skier and competitive bicyclist. So when she collapsed in the street after a daylong bike ride, she first shrugged off the weakness as cramps.
By the next morning, Heller's left leg was paralyzed. She had been stricken by West Nile virus after a mosquito bite she doesn't remember. The Colorado woman needed months of grueling therapy to walk again and, almost two years later, isn't fully recovered.
