A sample of mosquitoes in New Jersey have tested positive for two potentially deadly viruses, West Nile and Eastern equine encephalitis, local health officials say
A sample of mosquitoes from Washington Township, New Jersey, tested positive for West Nile Virus and Eastern equine encephalitis , according to local officials. It's the first sample to ever test positive for EEE in Warren County.What is the mosquito-borne disease EEE?Basically, these mosquitoes could potentially kill you. EEE is a virus that causes brain inflammation and, though rare, can be fatal. Just earlier this month, a Massachusetts woman died after being infected with EEE.
But EEE has also been making its presence known. The Washington Township Police Department said in a Facebook post that this has been a very active year for EEE in New Jersey, with one recorded human case this year. For comparison, the state only had one reported case in 9 years prior, between 2009 and 2018. Approximately a third of people infected with EEE die, and there's currently no specific treatment for the virus, according to the CDC.
