Watch out for denge fever there- a person who was missionary there got it- I guess it can’t be got rid of once a person gets it. It’s called the “ break-bone fever” and is as bad as it sounds I guess.

Thank you so much for the info. I didn’t realize it occurred in Panama. Any time I heard of it, it was always a story from Africa. Thanks.

A number of years ago, a fellow I worked with, very fit, always working out, in excellent shape, got West Nile virus from a mosquito bite. He was off work for months, and almost died from it. Luckily, he eventually recovered. Who would have thought that a disease with such a name, could occur in Alberta?
