MY response is to ask you to get the reporter to tell us where he got his facts from. Could this be the rantings of yet another Canadian holiday maker who got bitten by a mosquito & found a little bump came up?
More (accredited) information would help us comment more clearly as to the seriousness of the report. Although I HAVE heard of cases of Dengue in the country, I have not heard of any affecting tourists & certainly nothing here on the north coast recently. But then ......
