First EEE Case in Wisconsin This Year | Eau Claire News
A horse in Portage County, Wisconsin, has tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis virus — the first case this year. EEE is rare but deadly, spread only by mosquitoes that bite infected birds, not directly between people or animals. Symptoms range from fever to brain inflammation and seizures, with fatal outcomes possible. Mosquito activity will persist until a hard frost hits, so protect yourself: use DEET or picaridin repellent, wear long sleeves during dawn/dusk, treat clothes with permethrin (not skin), and eliminate standing water around your home.
