Thread: Dengue fever

My step son is now hospitalized on Phuket for the past week. My wife is is attendance and tells me 5 other cases of Dengue in the hospital.

Yet the governance is silent!

Its the time of year for it. I got it 2 years ago over new years up in nakhon sawan. Hopefully your lad will start to turn for the better soon; 7-10 days are the nasty bits.

Good luck - don't expect anything from the government /governance - no money in it for them so they don't bother.

Normal for this time of year. No preventative medicine. Just have to ride out the fever.

You want him up and running about in 3 or 4 days? Give him some papaya leaf juice (3 or 4 young leaves are the best, with the veiny bits removed) mixed with a bit of water (about 1/3 of a small glass) followed by some fruit juice to get rid of the taste.

You can thank me later.

^ you need to crush the leaves and then strain through some cloth.

Christ, I was banged up in a shitty old bungalow on Koh Tao loaded up with Dengue.
No A/C no nothing.

Would of been nice to be in hospital though.

Took me around 10 days to come good.

Had the same, 10 days and it was over,....wicked headaches. and insane spasms.

I got haemorrhagic form, bled internally, so autolysis occurs, you self digest, so lost heaps of weight and shat black liquid, (partly digested blood) for days, drank salty water with lime juice, no doctor or pills..lotsa water and VitC.

DON"T take aspirin, ye'll bleed to death.

Take an anti-spasmodic, like some opium in any form or ganja

Bloody hell ENT sounds horrendous

good advice on the aspirin though

There's an upside to it all, I'm immune to that strain of dengue, albeit a carrier.

The Goverment, big business and pharmaceutical companys are all it it together .
Its in their interests that we all get ill .
Dengue fever was created by Mossad and the Jewish lobby .
Theres some oil on phucket and THEY want everyone to leave the island, so they can steal all the oil .
Why do you think USA invaded Iraq ?
The CIA said there was Dengue fever in Baghdad

Yea, horrendous and then some.

Don't know about the uhm... upside though, surely wouldn't want to go through it so I won't ever go through it again.

Sure as hell I'll stay away from you the contaminated carrier - gotta stock up on Deet.

Now that's one hell of a conspiracy theory...

You mean, ah... no oil means no Dengue - need a roadmap to connect those dots.

I seem to have a touch of Sabangpseudolosis ,its contagious

To modify my last post;

"Once infected, humans become the main carriers and multipliers of the virus, serving as a source of the virus for uninfected mosquitoes.

The virus circulates in the blood of an infected person for 2-7 days, at approximately the same time that the person develops a fever.

Patients who are already infected with the dengue virus can transmit the infection via Aedes mosquitoes after the first symptoms appear (during 4-5 days; maximum 12).

In humans recovery from infection by one dengue virus provides lifelong immunity against that particular virus serotype.

However, this immunity confers only partial and transient protection against subsequent infection by the other three serotypes of the virus. Evidence points to the fact that sequential infection increases the risk of developing severe dengue. The time interval between infections and the particular viral sequence of infections may also be of importance."

ENT,

Thanks for the clarification - now I can stop my drive for a "dengue" colony.

Good you got over that - scary as hell. I puked blood once due to food poisoning (Italy not Thailand) and it scared the hell out of me. Don't know what affect crapping blood would have - off to the hospital for sure.

No such thing as a dengue "carrier".

As noted, if you are infected, you can transmit the disease (via being bitten by a mosquito that then bites someone else) for around 2-7 days, after that the virus is gone from you.

So, you're a dengue carrier for those few days, if infected, as stated.

No. You are not.

According to Smeg/Runner it's only a couple of days in bed with a fever.

Then not dengue, maybe bush typhoid.

Dengue kicks off with lotsa little red spots that join up, followed by a five day headache, muscle spasms high fever, loss of appetite and total weakness, followed by five days of intermittent headaches until the 10th day when you're then usually clear of symptoms.

You know it when you get it, not nice at all.

Just admit you were wrong in your post saying you're a "carrier" ENT, it will save quite a lot of time.
