Thanks for the update on both the ticks and the dengue situation in La Paz and Santa Rosalia. I liked Ski Baja's photos before your post, but when I went back to your post, it wouldn't pull up because of the time it took to load the photos. Could I talk you into posting the dengue post under a new topic so that people can pull it up more easily. I believe it's a very important post to warn tourists not to go there until this infestation dies down. I'm hearing lots of info on the message boards but haven't seen one mention of it from an official new source. You're probably right that govt. and businesses don't want the publicity right now.

I have cut and pasted Marla's post below, since it is a public safety issue


I hope nobody minds!

Dengue

Dengue is BAD in Santa Rosalia and now in Loreto. As of October 1, there were more than 30 deaths in Santa Rosalia processed by the local mortuary. Three days ago, a 30-year-old Loretana, 8 months pregnant with her first child, was taken to La Paz hospital where both the mother and unborn child died. The La Paz hospital has people sleeping on the floor. I know because Alexis Amador, the 4-year old with nephrotic syndrome in Loreto was rushed to the hospital October 18 only to have the parents and child camp on the floor for more than a day until a bed could be found for Alexis. Spraying took place in Loreto on October 12 & 13 in the madrugada. Govt. of BCS does NOT want to scare tourists away. ALWAYS WEAR LONG SLEEVES & REPELLENT RIGHT NOW, despite the warm weather. Be safe. Marla Daily

Dengue


When I was in Cabo Pulmo a week or so ago, I was really surprised at the number of tourists coming up to dive and fish from Los Cabos. And there were plenty staying at Cabo Pulmo too. None of them had heard a mention of Dengue. I immediately though of the movie Jaws.
