Chikungunya is marching through the Caribbean. Where I am, they feel the number of cases has slowed down, but with this tropical wave and all the rain it is bringing, we will see. Buy "Off" stock and dowse with DEET.

They claim that the numbers are down in SXM also, but I'm not really sure that is the case. Many islands need rain right now, but the skeeters, no, they don't need those!

Carol: A few weeks ago EVERYONE you talked to had it or just was getting over it. I haven't heard anyone complain in the last two weeks. Fingers crossed!

the epidemic proportion of people with chick v (local for chikengunya) has dropped off drastically but still a concern. We were in Grenada for over 2 weeks and while we met many that have horror stories of the illness, saw no one with recently contracted bug. We saw a couple mosquitos but kept 40% deet on. No cure, no remedy and no mercy on the infected. By the way, didn't wear long pants or sleeves. Headed back down after Christmas!
smooth sailing and fair winds!!!

greetings,
while in barbados a few weeks ago an entertainer cancelled their session due to chicken ganga. (lololol) this was the only incident we heard of during our island hopping.
i also read.. maybe on ttol, that skeeters like blue. google it.
ps off bought on the islands works better than ours.. check the label. have you ever seen black flies, deer fly or any of the other flies mentioned on our labels. makes sense to me (and besides their qa/qc in the tropics is far slacker than ours so not really sure what's in that can) cheers
