RSSPublic Health Danger: Aruba has New Species of Mosquito More Dangerous than One Infected with Dengue.
One Dengue Island. According to MPA party leader Monica Kock and as reported in Amigoe, there is a new species of mosquito on Aruba that is more dangerous than the mosquitoes infected with dengue. Aruba is supposed to be inspected twice every year (PAHO advises four times) for possible dengue breakout places; however, “The Public Health Department has already expressed its concern and Minister Wever has admitted that the government does not comply with these international standards. One wonders whether that is listed in the travel guide of things to be aware of when planning a vacation? Individuals not only have to be wary of predators at dance clubs that prey on tourists, but must also be cautious of the “dengue”.
ORANJESTAD — The MPA has again demanded an explanation from Minister Booshi Wever of Public Health, Environment, Administrative-, and Immigration Affairs about the control of insects that are dangerous for the public health. The opposition party received confirmation that there is a new species of mosquito on the island that is more dangerous than the mosquitoes infected with dengue.
The Minister doesn’t say what the species is. MPA has learned that some people have already been stung by these mosquitoes and that they have become ill. Besides, the Public Health Department is aware of these cases. MPA therefore demands clarity from the Minister and demands that the people be informed as soon as possible.
It must not be a repeat of 2005 when the Minister told the people at the end of that year that the number of dengue-cases was not alarming. After reports in the media, he had to admit that the figures were indeed concerning. He was forced to call in the international public health information (PAHO) to help combat the epidemic.

Just another reason to stay out of Aruba. If the Mosquito with dengue does not kill you. You have to watch out for Joran Van der sloot.
Just hope that the mosquitos don’t bite any of the vdScum family … not even a mosquito could withstand that.
Who knows … maybe the victims of these ‘mosquitos’ are in fact prototype-Pitbull victims.
Nobody in Aruba could figure out the difference between a mosquito bite and an icepick wound and crucifixion.
For that matter, how can there be a ‘new’ species of mosquito? What happened … did the old one interbreed with Anita vd Scum or the Kalpoes’ mother and go off into some nightmare of evolution?
afghanistan would be a safer place to visit than aruba.

Another good reason not to go to ARUBA.
BOYCOTT ARUBA UNTIL NATALEE GETS JUSTICE.
