I had Dengue while in SA, much worse than the Covid flu, but survivable. None of our “ team” died, however it is not called “breakbone fever” without good reason.
can only imagine what it must be like- we had a woman at our church who had it- she said it was awful-
I have had dengue, too. It is a sickness that keeps on giving. I survived it, but needed IV fluids for a time. Then, a month after the sickness the skin on my hands and feet peeled off. About four months after, my hair started falling out and I lost about 50% of it. And then there is dengue brain fog as well as a lingering dengue depression.
It is an illness I would wish on my enemies.
