Hi Jen,
It is funny how those mozzies just
love some people!
Maybe you have Royal blood or something?
Undoubtedly with all the recent flooding up there, the risk of the disease
spreading must be a concern to the authorities.
In 1999, a disease known as West Nile Virus came to the United States and spread
from coast to coast. Apparently West Nile has a viral structure similar to dengue
and again the vector is the humble mosquito. We certainly would hate to
see a similar situation occur in Australia with dengue.
Anyway, the far north is still a great place for a holiday, so just don't forget
the repellent and long sleeves at night.
Best Regards
Gary
