Kevin Boyce’s life unraveled in a matter of days. What began as a stubborn “flu” after a tick bite in April 2024 became a medical free fall:
crushing headaches, relentless vomiting, then sudden neurological decline.
Doctors finally identified Powassan virus, a rare but vicious tick-borne infection that attacks the brain.
Kevin never recovered; the swelling and damage were too severe. He died just weeks later, leaving his family stunned by how fast an ordinary day outdoors turned fatal.
