Dengue in Florida

The fever has reared its ugly head in my home state, particularly Key West. Dengue is a mosquito-borne virus and has no cure. So far there are no reported cases further north in the state, but it is important to be careful, especially disc golfing where the sport is played in wooded areas and where the mosquitoes tend to hang out, especially after it rains.
