My cousin's wife (now ex-wife) caught it. They lived in New Jersey at the time. They came down for my wedding, and it's believed that is where she got it. At the time, it would have been one of only two cases in Harris County at the time.

A friend at our church caught it several years ago and ended up in the hospital for about a year. But he was in his 80's so it hit him hard. There were 20 cases that summer I read, so it is not common, but can happen. Use repellant and wear long sleeves and pants if you can when outside at night.
