Florida is experiencing the largest dengue fever outbreak in decades. According to consistent media reports, more than 500 people have already been infected this year — around 280 of them directly in Florida through bites.
As several media outlets report, citing health agencies, an elderly woman died in September from the effects of the infection. This makes the current outbreak in the Tampa Bay area the largest in the contiguous US mainland in decades.
