Health
Cases of dengue fever , transmitted by mosquitoes, have been reported in Puerto Rico in recent years. Early symptoms include sudden fever and aching joints, after which a rash sets in. The disease itself, which typically lasts several days, isn't treatable, but symptoms are. The best medicine is prevention, through the use of liberal amounts of mosquito repellent. Mosquitoes are most rampant in July.
