I've been reading about all the dengue outbreaks in DR, and my in-laws have been talking about it a lot in Santo Domingo.
What I can't seem to find out is if there is any kind of vaccine or pill one can take to prevent it. Does this exist? If not, what can you do besides burn citronella and spray yourself with chemicals?
Someone told my husband it's the day time mosquitoes who carry it, not the ones at night. Sounds kind of odd to me, is there any truth to that, or should I just file it in the same place as the "Vicks Vaporub cures cancer too" info? [Not literally, but my suegra uses it for absolutely everything]
