@ai6yr oh, fun! That's one that worried me when doing field work in the Afar region of Ethiopa. Sleeping under a mosquito net watching clouds of mosquitoes flying just outside in a Dengue-endemic region was not very much fun.

Didn't get Dengue, but did get bacterial dysentery. 0/10 - would not recommend.

@grajohnt @ai6yr

Had both. Dengue is the worst.

@oldoldcojote @grajohnt 😬 Okay, now I am absolutely going to start using the mosquito spray every time. So many mosquito bites the last two months.

@ai6yr @grajohnt

You're probably in little danger unless you sleep outside w no netting at night.

@oldoldcojote @grajohnt Ah, except we now have Aedes Egyptii. Daytime ankle biters. Nearly impossible to see. Out at all hours. 😬

@ai6yr @oldoldcojote @grajohnt

We have them here in southern Arizona too.

I've heard bad things about Dengue fever, especially the risks of repeat infections.

Yay! (sarcastic)

@Mikal @ai6yr @grajohnt

Every exposure gets worse. Thats why they can't come up with a vaccine for either of the two varieties.

@oldoldcojote @ai6yr @grajohnt

Maybe Director of Dengue RFK will find a cure. Aquarium cleaner or something.
