Florida reports largest dengue outbreak in decades
Original: Florida reports largest dengue outbreak in decades with over 250 cases
Florida is facing its largest dengue outbreak in decades, with health officials reporting more than 250 confirmed cases. Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral illness, is rarely transmitted locally in the continental United States, making the scale of this outbreak notable. Health authorities are urging residents to use insect repellent, remove standing water, and take precautions against mosquito bites as surveillance continues.
Why now: An unusually large local outbreak of a typically tropical disease in the US is raising public health concern.
