The Dengue Virus is showing up way more than it should this summer in Guatemala. Several dozen cases have been reported throughout the country, along with a few deaths as well. It has been shown as breaking news for the past few days, with officials warning residents to exercise caution outdoors, especially close to still waters, where they may thrive and breed.
The virus is one of the deadliest mosquito spread viruses which cause high fevers, disorientation, nausea , dehydration, diarrhea, and excruciating pains in the bones and muscles, to name a few.
Mosquito spread viruses have also been on the rise in Dallas county Texas of the United States this year, with over 200 cases so far, and 9 deaths as of 8-11-2012. Except it was West Nile virus there, but it is still very dangerous and deadly. I wonder if this is going to be happening worldwide..?
