Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) is a rare but serious viral disease spread by mosquitoes. Did you know that EEE can affect both humans and horses? This illness, caused by the EEE virus (EEEV), can lead to severe brain inflammation. Symptoms in humans often start with fever, headache, and chills, progressing to more severe issues like seizures or coma. Horses infected with EEE may show signs of fever, depression, and lack of coordination. Preventing mosquito bites is crucial since there's no specific treatment for EEE. Vaccination is available for horses but not for humans. Understanding the risks and symptoms can help protect you and your animals from this dangerous disease.
