dakota57 Posted June 3, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I just read a travel guide that said the mosquitos in Belize can carry some pretty scary diseases (malaria & Dengue fever). Has anyone ever had a problem with getting sick from a mosquito bite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dforeigner Posted June 3, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I just read a travel guide that said the mosquitos in Belize can carry some pretty scary diseases (malaria & Dengue fever). Has anyone ever had a problem with getting sick from a mosquito bite? This is very common within the tropics including Mexico. Use a repellent. FYI: you will not be allowed to donate blood for one year after returning from your trip to Central America as well. You will be fine as long as you use common sense. There is no need to panic.

dakota57 Posted June 3, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Thanks...we aren't in panic mode :) ..We have a family member with MS & another with Crohn's disease, because of these auto immune diseases they have to be more careful when traveling. I was just doing my homework for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusyl Posted June 3, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Be sure whatever you take has DEET in it and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
