BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A New Hampshire man has died of the mosquito-borne illness tripe E – or Eastern Equine Encephalitis.

Earlier this week, 41-year-old Steven Perry from Hampstead, New Hampshire went to the hospital with a brain infection and died from the disease.

In Vermont, mosquitoes have tested positive for the virus in Grand Isle and Franklin counties, and the state had a human case of the disease for the first time in 12 years.

There is no anti-viral treatment or human vaccine for the illness, so officials recommend avoiding being outside during dawn and dusk, wearing bug spray, and removing standing water from your property.
