An Ohio mother is sharing a harrowing story after her young daughter contracted a rare mosquito-borne virus.

What started as an ordinary day quickly turned into a nightmare when her little girl became seriously ill. Doctors confirmed a rare illness transmitted by mosquito bites—something the family never expected so close to home.

The Urgent Call for Vigilance
Now, the mother is urgently appealing to everyone to stay vigilant:

Apply insect repellent
Wear protective clothing outdoors
Remove standing water where mosquitoes breed
Her message is simple, but urgent: if it can happen to her daughter, it can happen to any child. By sharing their story, she hopes to help other families avoid the same fear and pain.

Please keep this brave little girl in your thoughts as she fights to recover.
