LCHD ISSUES MOSQUITO-BORNE ILLNESS ADVISORY

LEON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ISSUES MOSQUITO-BORNE ILLNESS ADVISORY
--Medical director urges precautions against mosquitoes--

Tallahassee-- The Leon County Health Department announces that there has been increased mosquito-borne disease activity in Leon County. “We have had a confirmed human death due to Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE),” said Dr. Marjorie Kirsch, medical director, and,“the risk of transmission of mosquito-borne viruses to humans is increased.” A Leon County horse has also been recently diagnosed with EEE.

EEE virus is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. It isn’t spread person to person. An average of six human cases of EEE are reported each year in the United States.

The Leon County Health Department reminds residents and visitors to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes that may cause disease. Leon County Mosquito Control and the Leon County Health Department continue surveillance and prevention efforts and encourage everyone to take basic precautions to help limit exposure.
