Dengue Fever Spreads in Florida | Amarillo News

Dengue fever has hit Citrus County, Florida — the first confirmed case there this past Saturday. With symptoms like brutal flu-like fever, muscle pain, and rash, it’s not spread person-to-person but via mosquito bites — specifically the Aedes aegypti. Nearby counties like Hillsborough (8 cases) and Pinellas (2) are already affected, prompting aggressive mosquito control efforts including fogging and breeding site removal. Protect yourself by wearing long sleeves, using EPA-approved repellent, checking screens, and eliminating standing water — every drop counts in stopping these mosquitoes before they spread further.
