The Bay Area Couple that contracted Rat Lungworm while on their honeymoon in Maui is being picked up by every news service. The story notes the cases on the Big Island "Three patients have been Big Island residents, four have been Maui residents (though at least two were exposed while on the Big Island)". Now that this is world news maybe the legislators will actually put some real funding towards this. Education is most important.
