Episode Details

A man in New Hampshire is in critical condition after being bitten by a tick carrying the rare and deadly Powassan virus—only seven cases nationwide, five in Massachusetts. Symptoms can take weeks to appear, starting mild like fever or headache, but quickly escalating to brain damage, seizures, and paralysis. His friend described a terrifying 24-hour collapse after initial fatigue, with doctors racing to wake him. This is a chilling reminder: even a simple tick bite can unleash something far worse—stay vigilant out there.
