Hi Grumpyscosmos. I am sorry you got sick and hope you are well and stay that way. I am in HPP too and was just slacking off the mosquito spray and starting to catch up on my yard work, but will get back into "fight the bite" mode if what I am about to write turns out to be true.
I was told today by someone active on the FB Hawaii Dengue/Zika Awareness Group that a visitor to Kona (from mainland) got sick at the end of her stay, and tested positive for Dengue AND Chikungunya when she got home. She was contacted by CDC and told that she is 100% positive for both.
She hasn't been anywhere but Hawaii, and traveled all over the island while she was here.
I do not "do" FB, and it's going to take someone with better computer skills than I to get the story on FB.
I'm hoping Tom (or someone) has time tonight to look into it .
This is one time when I will be happy to be wrong ...
