Re: travelers to jamaica...chic v is no joke!!
Sorry but tourists who return home and become ill don't necessarily rush to post on this or any other forum regarding their health. In fact, only a fraction of travelers ever post for any reason on any forum. Even at that, I am aware of cases of Chik-V being reported by returning tourists. Chik-V will eventually peak in Jamaica and decline as more and more residents are exposed to the virus and become immune thus reducing those vulnerable. As the more rainy season subsides, the mosquito population will hopefully decline with some reduced risk. Tourists are not a stable group in Jamaica but rather a group that is constantly providing on each arriving flight new prospects with no immunity for the virus. Tourist are more likely to use repellant and their time on the island is rather brief. Still, I think that it is a matter of chance whether one is infected or not. Tourist may have less chance to be infected, but this is a chance that I am not presently taking.
