Eastern Equine Encephalitis -- United States
The CDC has confirmed a person with eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in Elkhart County has died from the disease.
This is the 1st human case in Indiana since 1998, and only the 4th reported since 1964.
Typically only 5 to 10 human cases of EEE are reported nationwide each year. But Michigan has had 10 cases this year [2019] alone; 4 of those have been deadly.
It's important to remember these cases are still considered rare. However, nearly 1/3 of the human cases are fatal.
Anyone
