First Ebola, now Dengue hemorrhagic fever has arrived in the U.S.

The immigration policies of the Obama administration and the democrats in Congress have opened the door to another disease, Dengue hemorrhagic fever that is now showing up in the U.S., Jerome R. Corsi of WND reported on Tuesday. With the influx of unaccompanied illegal minors who have illegally entered the U.S. this year, Dr. Lee Hieb, past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, explained to WND in an interview that the U.S is now facing another deadly disease.

Hieb told Corsi, “The big picture here is that we are getting all these diseases brought into the United States by the ‘imported disease people’ from Latin America. Other diseases tied to illegal aliens include Chagas disease, Enterovirus D-68, drug-resistant tuberculosis and malaria. We don’t generally test for dengue fever, because until recently we have not had hordes of people coming into the United States from areas of the world like Latin America where dengue fever is endemic. With other diseases, like TB, we generally test to see if immigrants coming into the United States legally have the disease. But if you’re one of the “chosen few” coming into the United States illegally from Latin America, the U.S. does no health screening whatsoever,” Hieb said.

Corsi said that in March 2014, as the Ebola outbreak was first becoming evident in West Africa, the United Nations World Health Organization warned the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever had “grown dramatically” around the world in recent decades. Corisi also reported that at least 2.5 billion people, more than 40 percent of the world’s population, were now at risk from dengue, and that the World Health Organization (WHO) anticipated that some 50 to 100 million dengue infections would occur worldwide every year.

Where has this guy been for the past four decades?

There were a number of isolated Dengue fever case in Tokyo in the last 6 months or so. They were traced to a higher than normal number of mosquitos near many parks.

Dengue is not a death sentence!

I had dengue this June. I am not dead. Really.

This is stupid. Dengue is transmitted by mosquitoes, not from person to person. The first time you catch it, you are miserable, hence its nickname, “bonebreak fever”, and you have unpleasant symptoms for about three weeks total, including one and a half weeks of recovery. Almost nobody dies from the first infection.

Symptoms, which usually begin four to six days after infection and last for up to 10 days, may include

Sudden, high fever
Severe headaches
Pain behind the eyes
Severe joint and muscle pain
Nausea
Vomiting
Skin rash, which appears three to four days after the onset of fever
Mild bleeding (such a nose bleed, bleeding gums, or easy bruising)

Sometimes symptoms are mild and can be mistaken for those of the flu or another viral infection.

Okay, that is the *first* infection with dengue.

However, if you get the disease a *second* time, of a different type of dengue (there are five types) *then* it *may*, unpredictably, turn into a hemorrhagic form, like Ebola.

So, if you catch dengue, your best bet is to leave the area for good, and move to a colder climate, where this type of mosquito do not live.

Dengue is transmitted almost exclusively, by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the same mosquito that transmits Yellow Fever, chikungunya, and other diseases. None of this type of mosquito in your area, no dengue.

Well good for you. Hopefully no one dies anymore.

The WHO estimates that 50 to 100 million infections occur yearly, including 500,000 DHF cases and 22,000 deaths, mostly among children.

Nearly all dengue cases reported in the 48 continental states were acquired elsewhere by travelers or immigrants.

Would it help at all to stop immigration completely for 20 years? Just to give us time to figure things out before we’re ‘blessed’ with more diversity.

FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE: President Obama is planning to unveil a 10-part plan for overhauling U.S. immigration policy via executive action — including suspending deportations for millions — as early as next Friday, a source close to the White House told Fox News.

The president’s plans were contained in a draft proposal from a U.S. government agency. The source said the plan could be announced as early as Nov. 21, though the date might slip a few days pending final White House approval.
