I've had dengue twice. It comes in different strains so you can only get it so many times before you're immune to all strains.
It is generally passed through mosquitos. So, one person has it and a mosquito bites them and they pass it along by biting another person. I got in while living in Central America where there's plenty of water and heat for the bugs to breed.
The trick to knowing that it's dengue in the beginning is that whenever you move your eyes, especially looking up, it sends a sharp stabbing pain.

Dengue fever is actually passed on by Aedes female mosquitoes. Aedes mosquitoes pass it around through their bodily fluids whenever they bite a person or animal. Whenever a mosquito bites someone, it has to suck in the blood and spit out the saliva before it retracts or else it will be frozen due to the blood reaction towards its bodily fluids and etc.. Hence, it will spit its saliva/ bodily fluid into your blood. That creates the itchy red spot.
Next, the infected fluid from the aedes mosquito that runs into your bloodstream will start spreading the virus. The virus looks for blood platelets and when that happens... well.. you start bleeding. You have nausea, dizziness, joint pains, and it gets worse to even loss of blood through gums and etc.. if not treated immediately, death may occur.
Hence, dengue fever cannot be passed from one person to another but through Aedes female mosquitoes. It occurs mostly in South East Asian countries but is extremely widespread during summer in seasonal countries that get heatwaves.

It is caused by a virus, carrieed by a species of mosquito known as aides egypti. This mosquito has black stripes on its body. It lives in clean water in the house, such as in flower vases. It bites in the daytime, at sunset and sunrise. It conveys the virus by its bite. There are 4 different strains of virus, and being infected by one type does not give immunity to other strains. There is no vaccine and no specific treatment. Just try to avoid mosquitoes by keeping the house clean and using mosquito repellent, destroyers, etc.
