New Hampshire Documents First Eastern Equine Encephalitis Death This Year
A New Hampshire resident has died from a rare mosquito-borne brain infection called Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE). According to health officials on Tuesday, this death marks the state’s first known human case of the disease in a decade and the fifth this summer in the United States. This is also the U.S.’s first EEE death.
The patient, who was identified only as an adult from Hampstead, New Hampshire, a town in the state’s southeastern corner, tested positive for the equine virus (EEEV) and was hospitalized with severe central nervous system symptoms before death, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services, as reported by Reuters.
The case was announced after four nonfatal human EEEV infections were reported in the U.S. this year to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: one each in the neighboring New England states of Massachusetts and Vermont and one each in Wisconsin and New Jersey.
The last reported human EEEV case in New Hampshire was in 2014, when three infections were documented, two of them fatal. –Reuters
Another Plandemic? Deadly Mosquito Virus Detected In Massachusetts
Is this newly reported death gearing up the masses for another plandemic? This time with a disease that is actually going to be noticeable?
Eastern equine encephalitis virus is spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito.
Only a few cases are reported in the United States each year. Most cases occur in eastern or Gulf Coast states.
Although rare, eastern equine encephalitis is very serious. Approximately 30% of people with eastern equine encephalitis die, and many survivors have ongoing neurologic problems. Symptoms of eastern equine encephalitis can include fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, behavioral changes, and drowsiness. –Center for Disease Control and Prevention
The CDC further states that there are no vaccines or treatments for EEEV, so if you do become infected, you will have to have a strong immune system to fight it off.
