Florida hit by largest dengue outbreak in decades
Original: Florida reports largest dengue outbreak in decades with over 250 cases
Florida has reported its largest dengue fever outbreak in decades, with health officials confirming more than 250 cases. The mosquito-borne illness, typically rare in the continental United States, has prompted warnings for residents to use repellent and eliminate standing water. Health authorities are monitoring the spread as warm, wet conditions sustain mosquito populations across the state.
Why now: The unusually large local dengue outbreak raises public health concerns about mosquito-borne disease spreading in the continental US.
