YIKES!
This is not comforting. My 16 year old daughter is heading to Costa Rica in a few weeks on a mission trip.

Don’t sweat it, CR is a great safe country, when compared to MANY US cites. She’ll be fine.

There is little to fear in that country except the mosquitoes....

Make sure that she has plenty of DEET bug spray and she uses her mosquito netting properly....

My 21 year old daughter went there last year and didn’t seal here mosquito netting properly on a jungle campout. Multiple bites....4 days later she came down with Dengue fever.

When we flew her back to Miami, she spent initially 10 days in the hospital, released, then had to be readmitted after 1 week for another 7 days. It took her 3 months to recover and she is a very healthy athletic young woman.
