Good news you are better! This really has me concerned as I ALWAYS get eaten alive...yikes I guess I MUST be pro-active with the DEET. I just ordered BUGGS Spray with 25% deet unscented and vanilla scented on amazon- we used it 2 years ago and not one bite and I did not smell like "deep woods off" Fingers crossedOriginally Posted by embury

Wow, scary! Glad you're feeling better!
That's why I canceled my trip for this year. .last 15 years we have been there for Xmas. Boy I am going to miss it..
This has me concerned. I'm planning on traveling to Negril in February with my mom who is currently taking chemo. She will get a 2 week break for our trip but I'd hate for her to get sick. I'll have her discuss with her doc.
I would definitely not take the chance
begels,
Consulting her doctor can be the absolute best thing you can do. While Chick-V generally has symptoms of a bad flu, those with a weak immune symptom can face much worse symptoms. And please be sure that her doctor does research as this was until recently not known about in the western hemisphere.

While I am sure it is real, I just think some folks are more susceptible to the possibility of getting it.
My wife gets eaten alive every trip. She was using off with deet pretty heavily this trip, not many bites. I used off the first day, pretty much forgot about it after that, and zero bites the whole vacation. We have had so many trips where her legs look like she has been rolling around in thorn bushes, and if I am getting bit, there is zero reaction. One year, at pushcart for dinner, we were sitting 2 feet from one another, and the mosquitoes turned her into an all you can eat buffet. I got zero bites.
I have no doubt it is for real, but I agree with Hussyband, some people are more susceptible. I leave Sunday and I do not have any doubts about how much I want to go. I generally am not bothered much by bites, but I am taking deet wipes with me. Pon da cliffs, there has not been much trouble in my past trips. I hope that is the case this year. I am prepared. So, going to take the risk. Pray nothing will happen but I couldn't give up this trip up on a bet! To me, I have my flu shot which is a big deal this time of year...now, just ready to enjoy the moments of my vacation to the max. Life is always a chance, this one, I am willing to take. I need my annual trip to Negril as much as plants need water.
I am off on Sunday for fun in the sun. If by chance anything happens, you guys will be the first to know. Blessings to everyone and enjoy!

Luckily I also do not seem to be bothered by mosquitos.. I am prepared with plenty of spray and wipes which I will religiously during the day. I also purchased a few packages of these bracelets.. I have read mixed reviews about them but most claim that they seem to work, they are waterproof and are supposed to last up to 200 hours
