I just got the alert today through my company email. Dengue Fever is becoming quite prevalent in the Caribbean, among other places.

My son and I have both have the same problems/symptoms. Pounding headaches, nausea, pain in the stomach area, joints very painful, etc. We came back from Cancun in Sept 1 and the symptoms started about a week ago.

I have just been trying to fight it off with the recommended treatment by the CDC. Also, recommends to consult a physician, so we'd better make an appointment. 1% of people contract Dengue Hemorraghic Fever! :11: Just what my luck would have....Ebola!

See link below: I'll cross-post in the Caribbean section of the board.
