File - In this April 19, 2017, file photo, Hawaii Health Director Virginia Pressler, left, and Hawaii Tourism Authority CEO George Szigeti, right, talk to members of the media about new cases of rat lungworm disease in Honolulu. A California couple on their honeymoon and two people who drank a homemade beverage are among the rising number of victims in Hawaii falling ill with a potentially deadly brain parasite. After the newlyweds' plight with rat lungworm disease recently got attention online, the couple and some experts accused Hawaii of failing to adequately warn tourists and residents of the danger. Tourism officials are assuring visitors that the disease is rare and there's no need to cancel vacation plans. (AP Photo/Cathy Bussewitz, File)
