Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is a rare but serious disease with the potential to cause significant neurological damage, transmitted mainly through cattail mosquitoes.
Despite its rarity, EEE poses a severe health risk, with approximately 30 percent mortality among those who develop severe symptoms, prompting community precautions.
Public health officials are closely monitoring EEE outbreaks, urging communities to restrict outdoor activities, especially during peak mosquito activity periods.
Currently, there is no vaccine available for humans against eastern equine encephalitis, making awareness and preventive measures crucial for affected regions.
