ukrules Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The real reason this is a massive global public health emergency is Guillain–Barré syndrome Look it up and do some research, it's much, much worse than is being reported in a lot of places but the truth is all out there on the web if you go looking for it.

madmitch Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thailand has had the current dengue fever crisis for over 18 months; now the Ministry of Public Health, or is it Ministry of Illhealth, decide to act???? Yes, because dengue is a Thai disease, that's OK. Zika is a nasty foreign virus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 One house below my condo has a roof full of water Has been for years Like a swimming pool of Stagnant Water A breeding ground for Mosquitoes How do I let the authorities know about this ? I wouldn't waste my time with blank stares from the 'authorities'. Is there any way you can nuke it with chlorine? Chlorine kills all. If the place is accessible from your condo (straight down), pour some bleach in a bucket and give it one quick pour. Don't try slugging bleach out of a bottle. You might get caught and yelled at by pouty-lipped neighbors if you get caught trying to conduct a public service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerzy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 needs to be more intense than using volunteers.... here's a simple repellent.... Big bottle Blue cheap mouthwash, 3 cups of Epsom salt, 3 stale 12 oz cheap beer.... mix those three ingredients together until salt is dissolved... Spray anywhere you sit outside , around pools , will not harm plants or flowers... Mosquitoes gone from that area for apprx. 80 days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powder is to kill mozzy's in standing water. We use it in bowls who are under plants since my wife fears them to lay eggs if there's water in the bowls. Maybe somebody knows the thai word for that powder, pondshops sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangon04 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Obviously they are waiting to do anything, because a fortune-teller has told them that February 14th is an auspicious date to try and save some poor people..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Perhaps a closer reading of the actual news reports here is in order As for this supposed big national campaign... Director-General of the Department of Health Service Support MD Boonrueang Trirueangworawat said the volunteers would eliminate mosquito larvae in hospitals, schools and temples every Friday from now until April this year. Ya, and, what about everywhere else in the entire country where mosquitoes breed with abandon??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJIC Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 There should be constant research for spreading a killer bug that only kills the mosquito eggs and young mosquitos,under a controlled environment. It will not happen overnight,and will probably take several decades,and we must be sure it will not effect the environment. I see this as being the only way of eradicating the world of this world killer! seperate poisons are not enough,and only attack seperate reletively small pockets ! Another way of putting it would be a program of breeding death to be passed on to the next generation of mosquito,or their sterile eggs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
