Well it's been a while since my last post. Martinique is just coming out of it's Dengue Epidemic. Not to panic, most people get over it. It's appears some weak individuals, just like with the flu, can have a really rough time of it and some die, sad to say. I think 2 people have this year but don't take that as fact.

Dengue is endemic in the Caribbean and many other tropical countries. If you ask around there you'll probably find many people who have had it at one time in their life.

Anyway, back to the good news, the amount of people thought to have it is dropping like a rock as we head for "winter" and dryer weather.

Here's the official statistics .
