A young resident of Newfields, N.H., was in critical condition last night (Sept. 2) after being the second person diagnosed with potentially deadly Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in the state this summer.


State Epidemiologist Dr. Jose Montero said officials believe the patient was bitten by an infected mosquito in Newfields, or nearby.

Montero said the discovery highlights the importance of avoiding being bitten by mosquitoes in the waning days of summer
