Dengue is one of the lead deadly illness contracted through a mosquito bite in the tropical areas of the world. There are more than one-third of the entire world's population that live in high-risk areas and have to protect themselves and their loved ones from getting infected by this terrible disease. Each year up to four hundred million people are treated for this mosquito-bite disease, and unfortunately, a means of prevention through vaccination has not been discovered as of yet. The one thing people can do to prevent catching this deadly disease is to use bug spray to prevent any mosquito bites at all.Upon first being bit by a mosquito, you might not notice the symptoms right away. As soon as you are aware of your symptoms and think something might be wrong, you need to get to a doctor or hospital as soon as possible because the sooner you receive treatment, the less your chances are of having serious medical complications. While mosquitos have been around since the beginning of time, this disease has not been a known cause of death since the 1950s, mainly in the country of Puerto Rico. There have not been many cases documented in the United States but in the Latin America countries, it is more common than people would like to admit.If you are applying bug spray, you are doing all you can to help prevent the disease from entering your body. Since mosquito bites are very common in the warmer months of the year, it is wise to be educated on the potential symptoms that might occur if you have contracted any harmful disease. The more educated you are, the better your chances of survival will be.

1. Sudden High Fever

One of the most common side effects of the disease is a sudden high fever - and it is important to note that it is actually commonly referred to as Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). If you notice a spike in your temperature after getting a mosquito bite, don't just brush this under the rug. A sudden high fever is a symptom of this disease and needs to be treated by a medical professional right away, especially if it occurs in combination with any of the other listed symptoms.Usually, a patient suffering from this mosquito bite disease will have a fever anywhere from 2-7 days, but when the fever breaks is when you are at a high risk of developing further problems such as low blood counts. When this happens, your circulatory system does not properly function and some people have even had their bodies go into shock which will leave you with serious issues without warning. If you are unable to get treatment immediately, death might be at your doorstep.Since fevers are relatively common side effects when people get sick, it might not seem like much of a big deal if one arises out of nowhere. If a high fever comes on suddenly after getting a mosquito bite, be proactive and get to the doctor right away, it could potentially save your life.Next
