Dengue is a flu-like viral disease that is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito (Aedes mosquito). It occurs in the tropical regions of the world and cases in the US are mainly travelers returning from abroad, although, risk is growing for people living along the Texas-Mexico border. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe and fatal complication of dengue.

Well, hello there, friend! Dengue fever is spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes, particularly the Aedes aegypti mosquito. These mosquitoes usually bite during the day, so it's important to protect yourself by using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and keeping your surroundings free of standing water where mosquitoes breed. Remember, we don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents - stay safe and take care of yourself!
