Dengu fever is a virus that is spread by infected blood or body fluids.
It can cause hemorraging, internal and external bleeding, shock, and tissue death .
Hearing loss ,facial swelling and inflamation of the eyes, are some of the symtoms .
There is no known cure . Countries that have little medical supplies are more at risk
because there is alot of needle shareing .

do you mean dengue fever? i got dengue when i was in 4th grade. its an illness you get from a mosquito bite. it has several stages so a good way to prevent dying from it is detecting it early. just wear mosquito repellent/bug spray.
