Dengue Fever, Revisited

Last year in the southern Yucatan, I talked to an ex-pat just getting over dengue. And the dude STILL looked near-death. Momentarily scared the crap out of me cause them mosquitoes loves sucking the Tambourine Man’s sangre. But a few Modelos cured that.

I’m no scientist (unless Dylanologist counts), but I’m not completely convinced the main culprit is climate change. I tend to agree with the Hawaii guy about the “rise in the tropics of large cities with sprawling slums.”

By the way, was that Lou Dobbs posing as Andy Schnatz in the previous dengue post comments?

I’m with you, TambourineMan. The hemorrhagic dengue is particularly scary.

As for the commenter on our previous dengue/Mexico item, yeah, blaming Mexico for this is absurd.
