Rickettsiosis fatalities reported
A state official said three residents have died in 2017 due to the spotted Rocky Mountain fever.
Secretary of Health Guillermo Trejo said the fatalities mean a decrease compared to last year, when as of May six people were reported dead due to the illness.
In 2016, a total of 23 residents died of Rickettsiosis, he said.
The secretary asked residents to keep implementing preventive measures to avoid falling sick.
Trejo added that as temperatures rise the possibility of getting sick increases due to the proliferation of ticks.
Residents must get rid of old furniture, fumigate homes on a constant basis, keep pets outdoors, make sure they are tick-free and especially avoid sleeping in the same bed.
The secretary asked residents to go to the doctor as soon as symptoms like fever, headache or muscle pain appear.
