Sort of scarry!  I lived in Southern Mexico for two years and then in Taiwan for 10 years where Dengue is found and you don't want to catch it.  In souther Mexico they call it "break bone feaver" because of the terrible chills shaking and terrible muscle spasiims which make you feel like your joints are going to break.

  Why isn't anything like this on the news?  Instead of what brand of toilet paper is preferred in the White House by its occupants?   I never knew that I would see the day that the mainstream media had lowered itself to the same level as the National Enquirer (tabloids), in terms of credibility.

  This is more of what people need to know, minus the opinions given as fact as to it's cause.............

"At a national and international level, strong climate legislation is needed to slow global warming."

  The "global warming" issue, seems to be a catch-all for absolutely everything these days. Isn't it possible that human travel is the sole cause of the spread of these critters/disease.?.?

it is scary and yes, I don't think the issue is getting enough attention either.  I agree, humans would be the main cause of spreading these and other insects around the globe. but - if they live long enough, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of  migratory birds.

Maybe we all ought to put up some warning signs of some sort. I thought the one below was interesting.

What do you think?

That appears to be a sign of the US government carrying around a peasant citizen?
