sbk Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 No prob, one thing you can do personally is make sure there are no standing pools of water around your house. Difficult to do after it rains, but worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boes Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 It should not be a big problem - like flue symptoms for a week. If you've got it before you migth have the hemmorrhagig kind - it's an allergic reaction - and that's more serious. You will then have subcutaneous bleedings, internal bleedings and that could be very serious. But this only happens to the people who stay here permanently..... Check on google: dengue fever and you will have all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
