Dengue Fever Increase: A Bigger Worry Because of Climate Change.

Dengue fever is a serious illness spread by mosquitoes. It is becoming more common around the world, partly because of climate change.

The illness can cause fever, headache, and body aches. In severe cases, it can lead to bleeding, shock, and even death.

There are four types of dengue virus, and getting infected with one type can make it worse if you get another type later. This is a concern in places like Puerto Rico, where dengue is already common.

There is no specific treatment for dengue fever, and vaccines have been difficult to develop. One vaccine was approved in the US but is only recommended for certain children.

Dengue is a growing problem worldwide, with millions of cases reported each year. It is important to be aware of the symptoms and take steps to prevent mosquito bites, especially when traveling to areas where dengue is common.
