A toddler caught a rare, tick-borne disease that left him hospitalized after the bug bit him while out swimming in a neighbor's pool. Jamie Simoson, of Harveys Lake, said she was 'terrified' after her three-year-old, Jonathan, was infected with the rare Powassan virus, which triggered an inflammation of the brain and the thin tissue that surrounds it.The rare disease left her once-energetic boy slumped over on a hospital bed for 12 days in June before being discharged as he continues to battle cognitive problems and weakness with the left-half of his body.
