Re: Egyptian Mosquito
This mosquito is the one that propagates dengue fever. Usually on a first infection it is not very serious, but the second is worse, and the third can be deadly. It is also called breakbone fever in English, although it does not break bones, it only feels like that. It causes hemorrhaging, very much like rat poison.
So, if you have symptoms, contact a tropical fever specialist.
