New Hampshire Father Battles Multiple Mosquito Viruses
News summary

Joe Casey, a 54-year-old father from New Hampshire, is in critical condition after contracting three mosquito-borne viruses—Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), West Nile Virus, and St. Louis Encephalitis—from a single mosquito bite. Currently on a ventilator in the ICU and having undergone a tracheotomy, Casey's family is devastated as doctors remain uncertain about which virus is causing his severe symptoms, including significant brain swelling. His sister-in-law, Angela Barker, emphasizes the unpredictability of such infections, warning that 'it could happen to anybody.' The family has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to assist with medical expenses, amid rising concerns over mosquito-borne diseases in New England. Recent reports indicate that EEE has already caused at least one death in New Hampshire this year. In response to increasing cases, local authorities are ramping up mosquito control measures across several states.
