Suspected Rabbit Fever Cases in New York

The Suffolk County Department of Health in New York reports three probable cases of tularemia, a rare bacterial infection also known as rabbit fever, which can be contracted through insect bites from ticks or flies that previously bit infected mammals. The disease, caused by F. tularensis bacteria, typically occurs between May and September and does not spread person-to-person. Symptoms include high fever, swollen lymph nodes, and sore, with treatment available via antibiotics. Preventative measures focus on avoiding tick bites through protective clothing and thorough checks after outdoor activities.
