WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. - A mysterious mosquito bite has landed a 16-month-old Pasco County girl in the hospital with Florida's first human case of Eastern equine encephalitis in two years.
The disease is rare but extremely serious. It attacks the central nervous system, causing symptoms ranging from fever, headache and nausea to coma and death.
Only a handful of people across the country contract it each year, but a third of them die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
