Last week it struck with a vengeance in Louisiana, infecting at least 58 residents and killing four--prompting Governor Mike Foster to declare a statewide emergency...
...prospective beaus. (The lucky lady is Trista Rehn, 29, the former Miami Heat dancer who finished second on The Bachelor--or won, depending on how you define success.)
