Yeah, dengue is no joke and as much as I'd rather not have pesticides, I don't have a choice during rainy season in the Nayarit jungle. My fumigation guy comes once a month and it does seem to help with the mosquitoes and the scorpions and the jejenes (midges). Hope your stomach thing goes away soon!

I'm familiar with this especially this time of year even in Mexico City. It's been raining here for about 3 weeks solidly, which is bizarre because normally only rains in the afternoons during rainy season. So I can only imagine what it's like there..

Are we sure that ant foraging wasn't the cause of Montezuma's Revenge?? 😅

I caught giardia here too! Washing vegetables is key.

Eek- hope you’re on the mend soon! In Costa Rica all our employees would get sick at the change of seasons…we called it gripe. When I asked if they’d do anything for it, they’d always tell me they’d have ‘tea’ - usually manzanilla or jinebre- or they’d go to the farmacía and get ‘medicine’. They never knew what the medicine was…funny! I had a stomach thing only 1 time there in 5 years that tethered me to the bed and bath for 36 hours. Awful! Eek.
