Chikungunia Disease

Featured Replies

With over 20,00 cases reported in Southern Thailand it appears that this mosquito borne virus is now spreading throughout Phuket with over 349 cases reported already.

I already know of one Thai friend who went through agony for 10 days and now a young 5 y.o. friend of the family has been hospitalised. Whilst this doesn't appear to be lethal in most cases (although I believe a week old baby died in Trang last week) it is a very painful complaint.

Please be careful.

3 persons from my Thai neighbours Family in Nai Harn/Sai Yuan area have get chikungunia last week.

I think one of the reasons is they dont have any moskito nets in the windows...

This outbreak apparently was first logged back in August last year in the Narathiwat area, I suspect as it happened in the "Southern States" that not a lot of resources and man power was "thrown" at containing this disease,

Not a lot can be done for you once you have contracted this virus, so prevention is the way to go. Beware the Aedes mosquitoes bite during the daytime, mostly in the morning and late afternoon.

So please take care.

Cannot for sure confirm (bar scuttlebut), but I heard Charlie at The Freedom Bar has just recovered from it.

Now I see it's spreading at an even greater rate.
