dengue fever could be here to stay

[terracore]

So I went hunting today.... in preparation I ate a clove of raw garlic in the morning. We don't have a lot of mosquitoes on our property (eliminated all known standing water long ago) but before I went out I put two mosquito coil repellents on (one on each wrist), then I hosed myself off with 98 percent DEET.

I was a walking, stinking, mosquito-free zone. Or so I thought. I have at least 3 mosquito bites. About one for every hour I was out.

So the whole "taking precautions" thing doesn't really work, unless you never go outside.
