Well at least we’re not “harming the environment” with DDT anymore!

I got dengue when I lived in Asia. Luckily, once you’re over it you don’t have any after attacks like with malaria.
My uncle was in the S. Pacific during WWII and got malaria there. He was a big, strong man, a farmer, and I can still remember once when we were working digging post holes when he had a malaria attack and suddenly started shaking from a malaria attack and got as weak as a baby.
What I was told was that the type of mosquitoes that carry dengue are different from those carrying malaria. Dengue carriers lay their eggs in tiny, still pools of water. The kind you find in urban environments: a discarded tire, a coconut shell, an empty can. It’s much harder to eradicate dengue carriers with ddt than with the anepholis (sp) mosquito that carries malaria and lays its eggs in swamps.

The government here reported a virus in a province in the interior of Panama last week which killed six young children over night. Symptoms were dehydration, vomiting, diarea, headaches, etc.. Could be this dengue or something else. The symptoms sound like a bad case of the fly and if your not careful and take the kids to the doctor when they get these symptoms they could die. The fly always comes during the school year and my kids get it two or three times a year, most likely from their classmates. I plan to get my kids to the hospital at the first signs of a cold or flu.
