I have been a mosquito magnet since being a child out of all my family members they liked to feast on me most. Of course I hate wearing repellant. Anyway I used to travel to southeast Asia a lot they are never in short supply of brewing up some sort of nasty mosquito born infections. Anyway, while in indonesia I contracted what I believed to be Dengue Fever, a crazy hive like , fiercly itching rash on the backside of my body mainly the back of my legs, high fever, joint aches felt like the worst flu ever. Cleared up after a few days, locals said that everyone on the island contracts this one time then never again. So I did some research realized my location was a hotbed for Dengue fever. This is the weird part you supposedly only get it 1 x because you become immune to it.Well 2 years later went back to the island and got it again even worse, theoretically it is possible because their are four strains of the nasty! What are the odds there would be another strain in that region?? I do not know
All I know is I have not been the same since, I have so many symptoms of lyme it is frightening. Maybe it is a combo. Anyone have a similiar experience with Dengue Fever?
thanks
