Got my Malaria tabs, is there anything apart from Mozzie Repelant which will fight Dengue Fever?

If you find yourself in a position where you have to take anti B's to get rid of a nasty problem, you really ought to take a high potency pro biotic supplement afterwards, to get the good bacteria working properly again. If you have a slightly weak or surpressed immune system, perhaps through taking prescription medication regularly, then it is all the more important. You may not be able to find ''activia'' type products like yoghurts and drinks where you are, so a small pack of something off the shelf at most supermarkets/ pharmacies/ health food shops is ideal to stuff in your kit somewhere.

Broad spectrum medication is all very well, but you really should see your GP to get the right ones, as you may have some medcial issues or compatibility problems. I, for example can't take Ciprox it makes me swell up.

And now for something completely different, as it's not a medication, but works a treat, tastes good and isn't addictive or cost a fortune. TEA. Some forms of tea help with UTI's ( Urinary tract infections). Having an infection is both debilitating and dangerous for the kidneys. Best tea on the market to help keep things as they should be is Buchu leaf Rooibos tea. The Buchu leaf is well known amongst the natives in South Africa specifically for this purpose. I suffered badly & regularly with UTI's after kidney stones, and heard about this from a friend in SA. I've been drinking two cups a day for over two years now, and haven't had a single issue. My French GP is amazed and a convert! I never travel without with a box of bags. Available from most good health food shops).

The only thing that prevent Dengue is to not get bitten by the Dengue carrying mosqito.

And Dengue fever can not be directly cured, just be given symptomatically treatment. Although most people who have Dengue only got mild cold/flu like symptoms, it can get become serious.

But dont get paranoid. Use mosqito repellant after sunset and or consider wearing long sleaved shirts/sweaters and trousers after sunset. And talk to the local people about the local conditions. Theres really nothing much else to do about it.

Do enjoy your stay and travel...
