Dengue Fever Hits Texas Border Region, Highest Infection Rate in Two Decades, Say Health Officials
Breitbart ^ | 12/04/2024 | Randy Clark

EAGLE PASS, Texas โ€” Cases of Dengue fever are rising along the Texas-Mexico border with rates in the Lone Star State reaching levels not seen in more than two decades. In Mexico, hospitalizations and deaths from complications of the virus are also on the rise.

Despite the proximity of border cities in Mexico and Texas, the rates of contagion with the Dengue virus differ significantly. In Mexico, rates of infection and deaths from the mosquito-borne virus are significantly higher.

In Texas, the first locally acquired case of Dengue fever this year did not appear until November. The Cameron County resident living just miles from the Mexican border contracted the disease in Brownsville, Texas, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS). In a recent press release, TDSHS data shows that as of November 25, there have been 106 travel-associated dengue cases, including one death reported in Texas. This is the highest annual case count in Texas since 2002.

"Mosquito-borne'? Yeah, sure. That's what they want us to believe.

I would say that those afflicted with infectious diseases in the border areas have standing to pursue damages from one Alexandro Mayorkas, with clear and solid standing to do so.

Mosquitos can hatch and live in any temperate climate where it is well above freezing more often than not in Fall/Winter. I live 200+ miles North of the border where it much colder-a river is less than 2 acres away, and if there is no freeze at night and the days are near 70, mosquitos can be found alive and well until hard Winter sets in in late December/January...
