TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — For weeks we’ve seen confirmed cases of dengue fever. Fifty-nine of them have been in Hillsborough County. Now one Tampa family said their 80-year-old mother died after having the virus.
Anna Small and her family said they did not expect this.
“Cheated, just, you know, it’s so unfair because she was in good health and she worked hard to stay healthy and she walked and she ate right and you know, all the things that you’re supposed to do. And you know, this virus just kind of comes out of nowhere. She met the wrong mosquito, and that’s it,” Small said.
