What is Dengue?
Dengue is a viral infection spread by mosquito bites — not through coughing, sneezing, or touching. It’s very common in tropical areas, especially during the rainy or “wet drought” season in Bali when mosquitoes love to breed.
How Do You Get It?
Dengue can feel like a really bad flu. Some signs to watch for:
Sudden high fever
Headache (especially behind the eyes)
Muscle and joint pain
Skin rash
Feeling very tired
Nausea or mild bleeding (like gums or nose)
These signs usually show up 4–10 days after a mosquito bite.
What Should You Do?
If you feel sick while in Bali — especially with fever and body aches — don’t wait. Get checked at a clinic. Early care helps avoid complications.
There’s no specific antiviral medicine for dengue, but we can treat the symptoms, keep you hydrated, and monitor you closely.
Can It Get Worse?
How to Protect Yourself:
Use mosquito repellent (especially in early morning and late afternoon)
Wear long sleeves and pants
Sleep under a mosquito net
Stay indoors during peak mosquito times
