However, travelers with plans to visit certain popular tropical destinations may want to do a little more than pack some Tums, as the Centers for Disease Control have issued a travel notice after a spike in dengue fever cases.
The CDC’s travel notice indicates that certain countries “are reporting higher than usual numbers of cases, or CDC has identified a higher-than-expected number of dengue cases among U.S. travelers returning from those countries.”
There are currently 18 countries on the list, including several popular vacation destinations like Fiji, Mexico, and Saint Lucia.
Per the CDC, “dengue is a disease caused by a virus spread through mosquito bites” that can take up to two weeks to develop.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, “most people recover from dengue fever without any lasting complications. If you have symptoms of dengue fever, you have about a 1 in 20 chance of it worsening to severe dengue. If you have severe dengue and are treated immediately at a hospital or medical facility, you have a greater than 99% chance of recovering.”
