5. Malaria and Dengue Fever
Mosquitos carry countless unpleasant and potentially fatal diseases. Mosquito borne diseases shaped the world for a millennium. Here are a few you can look forward to while you travel!
Malaria is found in tropical and subtropical countries. Depending on the version, you get a high fever, chills, flu-like symptoms and anemia. You also get to look forward to periodic reoccurrences if you don’t take your meds. If it isn’t treated it can be fatal.
Dengue Fever is another subtropical/tropical disease that gives you fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, rash, and pain in the eyes, joints, and muscles. If you develop a severe case, you can look forward to intense stomach pain, repeated vomiting, nose bleeds, and death.
