I gotta ask: Anyone worried about the Dengue?
I do have to admit to some concern after reading about Judy's case. It appears to be a very slight but real risk. We are bringing DEET and will avoid jungle activities on this trip.

Well, I read the online Por Esto newpapers and it *seems* things are a little different this year. bit more serious. Oddly, you might actually be safer in the jungle.

Those big jungle blood suckers are not the carriers.
