Health officials: Threat of Triple-E expanding

Massachusetts health officials are warning residents to take precautions, warning that the threat of Triple-E is expanding.

Health officials say mosquitoes infected with Eastern Equine Encephalitis have been found in Raynham, Easton, Bridgewater and West Bridgewater.

The Department of Public Health is urging people to protect themselves by covering exposed skin, using bug spray and getting rid of standing water outside.

So far, there have been no human cases of Triple-E.
