Humans who survive the illness are often brain damaged. IN HORSES, symptoms include erratic behavior, incoordination, and unwillingneps to move. Symptoms are accompanied by fever and last only two to three days. There is no treatment, so the animals dies or is put to sleep. * In humans, symptoms include fever, severe headache and stiff neck for s few days to a week.

followed by an altered state stem, paralysis or coma. Humana, like horses can get the disease only from mosquitoes. It is not transmissible from person to person or from horse to horse. Six horses died from the disease in 1982, and five died last year. There were no human cases reported in 1982 or 1983, and nooe has been reported to date. The largest human outbreak of EEE in New Jersey occured in 1959 when 22 of 32 cases died from the disease. Since then, only occasional outbreaks have been reported, involving three to 12 persona. 0
