Can I die from being bite by a mosquito infected with eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus?

Fortunately, only about 5% of people who are bit by a mosquito infected with eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) develop eastern equine encephalitis. However, about one in three people who do develop EEE die from it. Many survivors have mild to severe brain damage.
