What Is Eastern Equine Encephalitis?
Eastern equine encephalitis - also known in the news as EEE - is a rare and severe disease that can be transmitted to humans by mosquitoes infected with a virus. This illness poses a severe health risk, particularly in areas with lots of mosquito activity. EEE can negatively impact the brain, leading to encephalitis, which can result in severe neurological damage or even in some cases - death.
What Are the Symptoms of Eastern Equine Encephalitis
The symptoms of EEE can range from fever, chills, and headaches to seizures and coma in severe cases. Due to the infection's potentially fatal consequences, controlling mosquito populations has become a priority for local communities vulnerable to EEE outbreaks.
These mosquitoes that spread EEE breed in swampy, wooded areas, but they can easily migrate to residential properties, putting people and pets at risk. While preventing mosquito bites is important, taking proactive measures to reduce the mosquito population on your property can significantly lower the chances of exposure to EEE. This is where NaturaLawn’s mosquito and tick control services can help.
