posted months ago about the increase of dengue fever in bali, nearly lost friend to this virus it can be fatal apparently the hospitals in bali and java have many patients with it.Its not new has been around forever and is even in australia but it has been slowly getting worse in bali and beyond due to the number of people infected.It can be the daytime mossie so take precautions my doctor here in australia told me last week he has two patients from my town just returned from bali who have it, so noone is immune the old saying goes be prepared learn as much as you can about the symptons and how to protect yourself be sensible with clothing at night too when the nasty critters are looking for next victims.If not well high fevers,drowsiness,flue like symptons get a blood test at a reputable hospital there. theres not much treatment to have but at least you know what your dealing with it can be slight or very very serious and takes ages to get over.Hope this dosnt sound to scarey but its the facts as I know it its up to the individual to head the advise or not.
