Dengue Fever

Getting bitten by a mosquito while on holiday can be frustrating, but in some cases, it poses a significant health risk.

The danger increases if you are bitten by the Aedes mosquito, which transmits Dengue fever. While Dengue fever may initially resemble a flu-like illness, it can escalate into a severe and potentially life-threatening condition. Since there is no cure for Dengue fever, prevention is the best approach.
