Maryland sees first death from rare tick-borne virus

The virus is called Powassan, and there are no vaccines or medicines for it, said the Maryland Department of Health today. It's not transmitted person to person, except in rare cases by blood transfusion.

The person who died from Powassan had travelled to Canada, where they got the virus, and then returned to Maryland.
