Dengue fever risk in Bali

 The hot humid conditions heightens the dengue fever risk in Bali. Anyone who lives on the steamy Bali coast can attest to the recent spike in heat and humidity and the rise in mosquitoes. 

The big risk in Bali is dengue fever rather than malaria. Dengue is characterized by fever and weakness. A healthy person can recover and many Bali expats have had dengue. Keep hydrated and ride it out. Dengue is caused by the larger mosquito that bites in the daytime.

Try to keep bushes trimmed back, burn a coil, wearing long sleeves and long pants.
