Bali - Dengue Fever Warning

Bali- Dengue Fever

This weeks Bali Advertiser, warns of a Dengue Fever Pandemic. Dengue Fever can be lethal but is mostly a flu like fever that comes and goes without serious damage. However, Bali is famous for “If you don't mention it, it doesn't exist” attitude. No travel warnings exist about Dengue Fever, so bring your big dope as Dengue Fever is passed through mosquitoes.

Don't be fooled by the tiny mosquitoes here in Bali. Compared to the bird like mosquitoes in The Pacific Northwest of BC, they look harmless. But they'll bite you and be gone before you can swipe at them, sometimes leaving behind a virus or two.

After discussing this with many locals, it does seem the “Pandemic” claim is somewhat overblown. However, Dengue Fever IS present in Bali though and it can be quite nasty, so carry medical insurance, wear long pants for the ankle biters, at dawn and dusk, and wear bug dope in the buggier areas.
