Extremely serious situation. Not a disease to mess around with.

Apparently it can be severe. I always worry about it when publicized here every year and have been watching my kids and wife for the slightest thing that may resemble dengue fever. So far so good but for this one, I’m always on the lookout for it to make sure everybody in my family is OK as this one does worry me.

Seen a couple of people who have it and it isn't pretty from the outside looking in _ the other side must be nearly unbearable.  One gent sleeps all the time and says everything aches and it is not something that wants to pack and leave you after 2 weeks.

No Open Doors or Windows. Occasional AC Blast and Insect Fumigation Spray.

Don't want to get bitten by anything here or anywhere in fact. Don’t live in such infected areas either.

I have seen people here with malaria up north from CM where I lived. Dengue is just luck of the draw and hopefully none of us get the bite from the little tiger mosquitos. I mosquito watch for the diffrent types of them and they all seem to have seasons they come out in. Thy are out and about in in CM at this time right now.
