First Death in Minnesota from Powassan Virus
The first death related to the Powassan virus was recorded in
Minnesota Wednesday according to a release by the Minnesota
Department of Health
The victim was a Northern Minnesota woman in her 60s.
Another likely Powassan case was identified in Anoka County this
year in a man also in his 60s.
Both the female and male cases became ill in May after spending
time outdoors and noticing tick bites -- the Powassan virus is
transmitted by blacklegged or “deer” ticks in Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
