Dengue Surge Hits Hillsborough County | Tampa News

Dengue fever is surging in Hillsborough County, Florida, with 95 confirmed cases — a 36-case jump — making it the state’s epicenter. Ninety of those cases are tied to the DENV-2 strain, and officials warn the outbreak could worsen as many infected people show no symptoms but still spread the virus via mosquito bites. Across Florida, 111 locally acquired cases span six counties, while 160 more stem from international travel, mostly in Miami-Dade. Stay vigilant: protection against mosquitoes is key as cases continue to climb. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
