Dengue fever in Bangkok?
Hello! Are there any locals here who can shed some light on the dengue fever that is reportedly breaking out in Bangkok? What is the situation in the city? How safe is it to go there now?
I copy from Rosbalt news - BANGKOK, November 13. An outbreak of dengue fever was recorded in the Thai capital Bangkok, about 13 thousand people fell ill since the beginning of this year, according to the website of the state Thai TV channel Thai PBS, citing data from the health department of the city administration.

I don't think tickets are required. If it was dangerous for tourists, ours would have trumpeted about it in all the news. Since the beginning of the year, 13,000 people have fallen ill in a country with a population of 53 million, which is less than we had during the flu epidemic.

Take potassium permanganate with you, wash fruits with it, or wash fruits with soap. Do not eat in dubious places and everything will be fine. And also eat more spicy, it also disinfects, or DRINK!

Dengue fever is carried only by mosquitoes, only at sunset or sunrise. Try to avoid mosquito bites during this time. Even if you get sick with this fever, in most cases it is no worse than the usual flu. Only those people who have very, very weak immunity die from this fever. For example, who has AIDS. And those who have a strong immune system may not even notice that they are sick. But it doesn't hurt to be careful.
And most importantly: "This year in Moscow and the Moscow region, more than 9 thousand people have become victims of bites of infectious ticks." This is much more dangerous than a dengue mosquito bite. So what now to leave Russia?

Polanskaya1955, don't write nonsense! What does dengue have to do with washed fruit?
Dengue fever in Thailand is and has always been in the foreseeable past. Outbreaks here and there regularly. A couple of years ago, for example, Koh Samui was sick, many tourists also got sick - they wrote about it on the forums, and my personal friends (two at different times) became infected.
The course is similar to the flu, there is no treatment, just like the flu, only symptomatic - i.e. bring down the temperature if high, and drink plenty of fluids. Doctors in the hospital can let the patient go to a hotel, or they can put him in a hospital, depending on the desire and insurance. In the hospital there will be droppers with saline for dehydration and that's it.
Tourists usually get sick not very seriously. The reason is that re-infection is scary, and this happens mainly among locals and expats. For the first time, an infected tourist simply lies in bed for a week of his vacation.
The vector is a specific species of diurnal mosquito. Those. skin repellents will not be superfluous.
