The WikiPedia article currently says "Prevention includes polio vaccination and avoiding mosquitoes bites."
The source[0] of this says "To prevent infections by AFM-related viruses , specialists recommend staying up-to-date with polio vaccines and to minimize exposure to mosquitoes," but doesn't say who these specialists are or why they conclude this.
Since the cause is wholly unknown (even though the symptoms and course have some similarities to polio and one outbreak of the disease coincided with an outbreak of West Nile), we can't really say whether these will decrease the likelihood of experiencing this syndrome, increase it, or have no effect. Right?
