Yes, there was one case in our settlement last week. Spraying afterwards (of course).

I am not sure whether it is meningitis, from all I understood (musquito, ill) I gathered it might have been malaria or dengue.

We're in Chok Rat about 9 km's east of Huay Rat, and halfway to Krasang.

No other cases reported.

edited: and not in my family

Update, as just now someone came back from "town" (Huay Rat), and apparently people are laying on the floor, as the hospital is flooded with sick people and not enough beds. Now I haven't seen that for myself, but it's the talk of the settlement over here!

I am trying to find out what it is that seems to affect so many people around here!

Our village is Ban Kok Yai, on the Surin road from Buriram, about 5 to 6 clicks out, i thought it was malaria when my wife told me, but her sister has told her Meningitas, can you catch this from Moskitos ?, as this outbreak must of come from the Moskito as they would not be spraying, the wife and i are supposed to come back to Buriram in October and bring my 5 year old, if this go,s on i will leave her in the UK with her grandparents.
