A Texas mother, Julie Barron-Wells, shared her painful experience eight years after her 27-year-old daughter, Kylie Lane, died from hantavirus in 2018. Lane experienced severe abdominal pain, fever, and breathing difficulties, and it took 10 days for doctors to diagnose her. Barron-Wells hopes that by revisiting Kylie's story, it will raise awareness about the disease and encourage more research. Doctors are currently monitoring new hantavirus cases on a cruise ship, but the mother emphasizes that typical hantavirus is spread from rodents and not usually person-to-person.
