Dove/ West nile virus

Is there any risk in handling/eating dove if they are carrying the West Nile Virus?

the only way to get the virus is to get bit by a miquito. it fine to handle them ;) ;) ;) ;)

Or to get an organ donation from a deceased contaminated blood recipient. It is almost amazing how the media can sound and spread panic and never miss an opportunity to do so. :rolleyes:
