user: Q: Doctors in Kan. discover 'Bourbon virus' from ticks

A new tick-borne virus is responsible for killing a Kansas man this summer, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said.

John Seested, of Fort Scott, died from organ failure after he was bitten by a tick. Standard tick-borne illness tests at the University of Kansas Hospital came back negative, and Seested did not respond to traditional therapies.

"It was very frustrating. That's one of the biggest problems with my job, which I love: when we can't answer those questions, when we can't help the patients or their families," Dr. Dana Hawkinson, an infectious disease physician at the university hospital, told KSHB.com.

But researchers at the hospital and the CDC have now determined a tick-borne illness did kill Seested — just a previously unknown one. They dubbed it the "Bourbon virus" after the county in which the patient lived.

"We continued to push and have concerns as to why this happened," Hawkinson said. "The CDC was on board with us and was able to help us with that and we've now identified this new virus."

The CDC is now investigating other deaths to see if they could have been a result of the Bourbon virus.

Symptoms of tick-borne illness include a high fever, strong headache, muscle aches and nausea.

Andrew Garfield on Playing a Father : People.com

, Garfield, 32, plays a single father who struggles to get back the family home after being evicted. While the actor is not yet a father in real life, he admits that playing one on screen brought out his paternal instincts.

"I've always had them somewhere," he told

. "I think all men do and all women have that motherly instinct, and it was exciting to explore that and daunting and scary."

This is the first role in which Garfield – who has been

since 2012 – has played a parent, and he was nervous about how he would channel the necessary emotions.

Garfield didn't address when he want's children for himself – or whether it's something he and Stone have discussed.

"I kind of thought, 'Well, how do I do that? If I haven't experienced it, can I do it?' but then I realized that's the situation of every single father in the history of time," said Garfield. "Everybody who becomes a father has never been a father before, so we're all going into this initiation totally blind and groping in the dark so I kind of went with that feeling of not knowing what the hell I was doing and it kind of helped."

When Garfield does decide it's time to start a family, don't expect to see any candid Instagram shots of his child. The notoriously private actor, who ironically had his breakout role in

, doesn't plan on joining social media anytime soon.

"I'm not dead against [social media] but I also feel more attuned to potential damage that it could be causing our brains and our ability to be with ourselves and each other in an authentic and deep way," explained Garfield. "You can't get to anything that really meaningful. So I don't participate in it, not to say that I will never, but I don't have a reason to right now as far as I can see."

Rather than posting funny quotes to Twitter or selfies of him out with friends, the

actor prefers to let his fans get to know him through his acting.

"I just want to give them my work. I want to give them my soul," he explained. "I don't want to give away the little tidbits of information that I don't think adds anything to the conversation for me. I want to give my deepest self."
