I had Malaria but it wasnt active in me for several months after returning from Indonesia. Edited September 22, 2022 by Photoguy21 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is not a combination of the other. The only thing they have in common is mosquito transmission. Dengue can be fatal if/when you develop a complication called dengue hemorrhagic fever, nothing to do with malaria. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 OP, certain mosquitos, during the daytime can be bad. A certain breed of mosquito carries dengue fever and they usually only bit during daytime.

Well l'm not sure what your on about but after uncontrollable vomiting of blood and writhing with extreme aching pains I did die at the early stages and a paramedic guy who I still see about brought me back to life before they were able to electrocute me with those iron thingys. The funny thing was I remember vividly my wife shouting the first words I heard coming back she was shouting several times my name saying you can't leave me come back, come back. I replied apparently OK stop shouting I ain't going anywhere. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 1 hour ago, scubascuba3 said: Dengue in Pattaya so I'd be surprised if it isn't in Bangkok somewhere Yep. A common misconception that mosquito transmitted stuff is limited to "the jungle". There is a reason why Singapore has very rogue checks on mosquitoe breeding spots, open water etc. The problem with the densely populated areas is transfer of infected blood from one person to another by the mosquitoes. So making it kind of "contagious" disease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
