Dengue Fever Hits Florida | Hattiesburg News

Dengue fever has hit Citrus County, Florida — and it’s spreading. With cases already confirmed in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties too, health officials are sounding the alarm. This isn’t a cold — it’s a flu-like illness with brutal muscle pain, fever, and rash, carried by mosquito bites, not person-to-person. Prevent it: wear long sleeves, use EPA-approved repellent, seal up screens, and dump standing water — your best defense against these biting pests.
