While she was in the hospital a lady in the next room died from dengue haemorrhagic fever, not something I would want to go through again so I hope that the mutant mosquitos eradicate it from Malaysia.

There was talk that doctors in Thailand were close to a vaccine, that would be a better ecological response to dengue, but I would be happy if there were no mosquitos.

My sympathies, Mortis. That must have been a terrible experience!

Not so much for me, but my wife scared the hell outta me, shes not good with hospitals.

The thing that really upset me was that our neighbors had a bunch of pots full of standing water, and 3 of them had dengue the week before us. They didn't think they should clean up the water, not the brightest bulbs in the box.
