Dengue!! I need urgent informations!!

Fact: There have been more than 4000 cases of dengue fever
Fact: There have been about 45 deaths attributed to the fever.
Fact: Because of public awareness, the incidence of more cases is slowing.
Fact: If you use mosquito netting when you sleep, keep your patio free of stagnant water and regularly spray your house for mosquitos, there is much less chance of exposure.
Fact: Dengue is not contageous from personal contact, only through a mosquito vector.

If you are going to visit family that live in squalor or very poor conditions, I would re-think the whole trip! If you are going to visit a hotel or resort, I would not.

Hope this helps.

HB

The number of cases has been declining. Hope that helps.

it's much ado about nothing, as hillibilly said, use protective net, anti-mosquito spray, avoid staying in the areas close to stagnant water.
dengue has similar symptoms like a flu, if you feel bad, have a head/muscle pain, fever and shivers simply go to the doctor to get your blood tested.
dengue taken care of early is 100% treatable. there is no need to panic. dengue deaths are of those people who have not been diagnosed and hospitalized early enough.
do not forget a medical insurance for all your family and a good one too.
consult your doctor before coming here, maybe your child needs special anti-mosquito lotions being so young?
