It is good for us to be reminded that the Dengue Fever mosquito knows no seasons - it's around in the dry as well as in the wet and it is always around in the day time.
Too few tourists bother with repellent during the day and don't realise that Dengue is far more of a problem in Bali than Malaria, which is virtually non existent there now, I understand. Dengue is life threatening. A second dose seems to be almost always fatal.
Re: Bread Talk - this is at least the second post about the possibility of getting ill from there. Hmmm.
