A friend of mine caught this, it's common in Indonesia where he was.
It's not that dangerous if you are educated about it.
Never take Aspirin for example, this can be life threatening, but people tend to use it here when they feel bad.
It's so difficult to educate the general population about things like that.
- Vivtek 14y agoThere are four strains. If only one is common in Indonesia, then you're right - once through is more or less like the flu. In Puerto Rico there are three strains endemic. The more different strains you get, the worse the disease (i.e the worse your systemic reaction). One of my son's classmates died last year of it, in Ponce, Puerto Rico (about a year after we left PR) - he was home from the hospital, posted to Facebook "I'm not 100% yet but feeling much better", and died that night. He was 11. Dengue sucks.
