Boulder County Reports First Case of Tularemia in 2024

Boulder County officials have confirmed the first case of tularemia, a rare insect-borne disease, in the area this year. The resident began experiencing symptoms on Oct. 2, with fever progressing to an altered mental state and fluid in the lungs. The individual was diagnosed with pneumonic tularemia, a respiratory form of the disease.

Carly Wilson, a specialist from Boulder County Public Health, emphasized the importance of taking precautions around wild animals to avoid contact with the disease. Symptoms of tularemia can vary but commonly include fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and respiratory issues similar to a cold or the flu.

Health officials stated that tularemia can be transmitted through bites from infected insects, contact with infected animal tissue, or inhalation of infected animal particles. It is essential to seek medical care if experiencing symptoms and consult a veterinarian if pets exhibit similar signs.

Preventive Measures Recommended by Health Officials:

  • Avoid areas with wild rabbits and rodents, using insect repellent with DEET if entering these areas.
  • Prevent pets from hunting or consuming wild animals.
  • Avoid contact with wild animals and refrain from feeding or handling them.
  • Dispose of sick or dead animals using a long-handled shovel and garbage bag.
  • Avoid untreated water sources and wear a dust mask when landscaping near animal carcasses.
