Wisconsin Department Of Health

To date, 11 Wisconsinites have become sick, and two of them have been hospitalized, from Salmonella infections.

The disease is spreading locally, with 2 hospitalizations reported.

Illness in a human was confirmed, and mosquitoes collected from other counties tested positive for the virus.

Health officials urge anyone showing early symptoms of Powassan virus needs to be tested right away.

These nasty creatures kill a whopping 725,000 humans each year and they are now thriving in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin children and communities are becoming alarmingly vulnerable to outbreaks.

People in Wisconsin are urged to take action. Adults over 50 years old and children under 15 are at the greatest risk.

The good news: Covid deaths are down significantly in recent years. The bad news: the leading cause of death isn't getting better in Wisconsin.
