My last trip to Thailand after only four days I became very sick, headache, sweating, weakness, and finally I started to pass-out in the street.  A night in the hospital diagnosed Dengue Fever. Now I am told a second dose can be fatal. I met someone who had a relative die from it. The health care was good and very low priced. I hope they invent a shot for protection like other infectious nasty's. The strange thing was I never remember seeing any mosquitoes. Thin girls !
