A Massachusetts woman has died after contracting a rare virus from a mosquito bite.The Massachusetts Department of Public Health confirmed hers was the fourth case in the state this year, and the first fatality."We are working with several state agencies including MDAR, local boards of health, local Mosquito Control Projects, and other mosquito control experts on mosquito surveillance and appropriate public health response activities," health officials said in a statement.
They added just a day later: "It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you Laurie Sylvia has passed away. All of us here at Teamsters Local 59 extend our sincere and deepest sympathies to Bob and his family."EEE virus particularly infects birds, often with no evidence of illness. Mosquitoes become infected when they bite infected birds, who in turn pass it to mammals — usually horses and llamas — and rarely, humans.
