You need to be extra careful when next travelling to any place where Dengue is a problem - I understand a second dose can be fatal. Even a first dose can be fatal in some instances.
The message is to ALWAYS wear strong mozzie repellent, especially during the day & re-apply it regularly. Dengue mozzies are around during the day, all day. If you swim then you need to apply repellent as soon as you emerge from the pool.
My Doc is a regular Bali goer - he told me the other day that he's re-thinking going there with his family - Dengue, Hep, Typhoid is increasing, cholera - gosh, he went on & on!
