Here is what the page “Florida Dengue Fever Outbreak: 2025 Cases, Symptoms, and How to Protect Yourself” contains. Florida is experiencing an ongoing dengue fever outbreak, with multiple locally acquired cases reported across several counties. The Florida Department of Health has confirmed infections in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, among others, prompting health advisories and increased mosquito control efforts. Dengue is a viral illness spread by Aedes mosquitoes, which are active during the day and thrive in urban areas.
Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding. While many cases are mild, severe dengue can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. To protect yourself, health officials recommend using EPA-registered insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus, wearing long sleeves and pants, and eliminating standing water around homes where mosquitoes breed.
