Dengue

There has been a terrible outbreak of dengue fever in my neighbourhood recently, with reportedly three deaths so far. Government officials were seen fogging the area almost everyday. The situation is kind of scary because there are so many rumours circulating around, and almost everywhere - in coffeeshops, in barbers, at temples and schools, you hear people discussing about the subject and raising all kinds of theories.

Being super attractive to mosquitoes, I guess I have to be extra careful!
(Don't ask me why I'm super attractive to mosquitoes. It has been proven that at the same dinner table, all my other family members will not be bitten while I would get all the stings. Perhaps my blood tastes better?)
