New Hampshire man left in coma for three weeks after mosquito bite
The American contracted Eastern equine encephalitis, West Nile fever and St. Louis encephalitis.
A 55-year-old man suffered from three dangerous diseases at the same time, caused by a mosquito bite, WCAX reports.
A mosquito bit him in August, resulting in Eastern equine encephalitis, West Nile fever, and St. Louis encephalitis.
After waking up, the man could not walk or talk.
Three fatal illnesses weakened his immune system, causing fluid to build up in his skull and pressure on his brain.
Doctors noted that the condition is extremely rare, with only about 1,000 Americans diagnosed with one of these diseases each year.
Currently, the American, who suffered from three illnesses at the same time, is recovering.
The man urged parents to keep an eye on their children, use spray and underestimate the size of the enemy.
