Researched it on line for a friend of mine in Trelawney that has it now. According to the info I read, coconut water and fruit juices are the best things to drink to stay hydrated. Also, it said to use Tylenol for the joint pain and to avoid aspirin.

Yes, you can request a mosquito net, plus they'll provide a "vape" mat. Some of the cottages have screens, too. We stayed in a room with no screens and had no problems... we did close up at night and use the AC though.

Mosquito protection- it is not only chikunguya virus they spread, in other parts of the world there are many other diseases they spread. It seems that you should not purchase anything with more than 30% of deet.
