A New Hampshire resident has died from Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), marking the first human infection in the state in a decade as health officials respond.
New Hampshire health authorities say the deceased was hospitalized with severe neurologic symptoms. This outbreak follows a four-year absence of EEE cases in the region.
Approximately 30% of EEE cases result in death, and many survivors face lasting neurological issues, prompting intensified mosquito control measures across affected areas.
Massachusetts is combating EEE by closing parks and implementing aerial and truck spraying of pesticides to control mosquito populations in high-risk communities.
