    from the CDC website "Chikungunya virus is most often spread to people by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. These are the same mosquitoes that transmit dengue virus. They bite mostly during the daytime."

    Just returned and used over 2 bottles of Deep woods off liquid (orange bottle), pleasant smelling. I'm sure I was overkilling with this stuff, but we got NO bites. I saw lots of people with bites on their arms and legs. I do think I caused a slight chemical reaction with the insect spray, as after coming out of the water, I would reapply and I got a strange red burn reaction on certain spots on my legs. First thing out of the room in the morning, we applied the stuff and all is well.

    We just returned from Jamaica, spent our time in Little Bay. My partner contracted Chik V while there. I only saw about 5 Mosquitos while there, but they are more stealth than our Mosquitos from the north, so you don't notice them as readily. We applied deet every day, but the Chik V virus is rampant in this area. In speaking with the towns people of Little Bay, almost everyone there has contracted the virus in the last year. Oh ya, it's real!

    This is one thread I'm glad to see has quieted down. I understand that it seems to have run it's course on the South Coast and Kingston. I came across this article today that proposes using GMO mosquitos to battle chickungunya. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/flo...125-story.html

    The headline reads scarier than the story. Basically they want to release sterile male mosquitos out to mate, resulting in no new Aedes aegypti.
