Woman dies from tick-borne disease after cat bite
A woman died of a tick-borne disease after being bitten by a stray cat, the Japanese Health Ministry said. It said this could be the first "animal-to-human transmission case," although it hasn't been confirmed whether the Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome came from the cat. Doctors could not detect tick bites and assumed the disease was contracted via the cat.
