Travelers headed to Fiji this summer better pack more than just their bathing suits – they may want to add a serious spray of mistakes.

Disease control and prevention centers (CDCs) just released a warning of the hot tropical point, as cases of fever fever flowed throughout the Western Pacific.

Dengue, a potentially deadly virus spread by mosquitoes, has the high alert of Fig.

“About half of the world’s population is now at risk for the deng with an expected 100-400 million infection that happens every year,” the World Health Organization (WHO) wrote

According to the agency, the fever usually start with a high fever, headaches, severe muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting and a rash.

Some people can also feel pain behind their eyes.

There is no cure for it, and in mild cases, without prescription pain can relieve some symptoms.

In severe cases – known as hemorrhagic fever of the deng – symptoms can escalate into bleeding, shocking difficulties and intensely abdominal pain.

Only the Central Division has recorded over 1,000 cases of dengs from January to the end of March, according to the Fiji Government.

March growth ”is above expected [dengue] Levels for the same period last year, ”she warned.

The world mosquito program called it 2024 “The worst year for dengue in the record”, and the numbers are not slowing down.

“If we continue to release the gas that carries the planet in our atmosphere through industrial pollution, landfills and other forms of pollution, deng and other diseases born of the vector will only flourish,” the Fiji government warned.
