Re: I think the fogging more dangerous than mosquito
Wah lau, today mosquito fogging everywhere because of dengue panic
I think the fogging chemicals more dangerous than mosquito bite
So what if 10,000 people get dengue and two die in a year
When we go NS and go outdoors, get bitten all the time, everyday and everywhere
The two probably are already compromised and the virus was aggravating factor
99.98% of patients recover from dengue, how many will get cancer from the chemicals
Just my view - really choking on this fumes
This was so very long time ago, many of you who did National Slavery will be familiar with the Jetty at Pasar Laba Camp AKA SAFTI. I bet, many had done sentry duty there...during my Reservist days, I 'helped' out in Sentry duty at the Jetty during live firing exercise. The mozzies there are what we call "commando trained", the supplied insect repellant you rub doesn't work, the insect spray, the mosquito coils...I was bitten almost at places where I could not cover & when I went back to work, I had rashes all over, itched all over, I saw the company doctor, who prescribed antihistamines & calamine lotion. I was on 3 days leave, taking the medicine, slept through 2 days....Dengue was not heard of then & Malaria was the danger we know. Only itch & rashes, no fever..the itch was terrible.
That is why I am still puzzle that we live in a largely urbanized environment...how come, there are so many mosquitoes breeding spots in HOMES? Back in the kampung days...every household are mosquitoes breeders, for there are 1001 or more places around the house & in the house breed to them, yet, how many cases of people dying of malaria? & DENGUE. Where did that come from?. Can they be brought here by the 3rd world workers who came here by the ship loads, should we screen them for Dengue etc..maybe they are the breeding clusters.
