Many communities in Massachusetts are at “critical” Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus risk levels. This news comes as reports of a New Hampshire man with EEE and two other mosquito-borne illnesses is “fighting for his life” after a single bite.
There is also a high West Nile virus risk level and many more are at a moderate risk level for these mosquito-borne illnesses, according to state risk level maps. As the risk rises, reports of additional viruses spread by mosquitoes are surfacing.
A fifty-four-year-old man in New Hampshire is suffering from three viruses at the same time. “He’s my brother. It’s very difficult, especially because it’s from a mosquito,” his sister-in-law Angela Barker told WBZ-TV, fighting back tears. “He was positive for EEE, for West Nile, and St. Louis Encephalitis, but the CDC, the infectious disease doctors, they don’t know which one is making him this sick.”
“My brother-in-law is not a small man, and to see someone that you love be as sick as he is and not be able to talk, to move, to communicate for over three weeks is terrifying and gut-wrenching,” Barker said.
Joe Casey of Kensington has tested positive for the three mosquito-borne viruses after he started to feel sick in August. Just last week, 41-year-old Steven Perry of Hampstead, N.H., died after contracting EEE.
The health “authorities” say that Massachusetts is having a hard time with mosquito-born illnesses too.
As of August 3oth, Abington, Boston, Brockton, Brookline, Cambridge, East Bridgewater, Everett, Marion, Mattapoisett, Milton, Newton, Rochester, Quincy, Watertown, and Whitman are at a high West Nile virus risk level. Additionally, the rest of Bristol, Norfolk, and Plymouth counties; most of Berkshire County, and parts of Barnstable, Essex, Hampden, Middlesex, and Worcester counties are at a moderate EEE risk level. Douglas, Oxford, Sutton, and Webster are at a critical EEE risk level, and Carver, Dudley, Middleborough, Northbridge, Plymouth, and Uxbridge are at a high EEE risk level. Additionally, many communities in Bristol, Essex, Middlesex, Plymouth, and Worcester counties are at a moderate EEE risk level, according to a report by Mass Live.
“Be safe, cover up, wear bug spray. It can happen to anybody, and that’s the scariest thing. Be careful and take proper precautions,” Barker said.
