Breaking Bones trend grows in Florida

Recently, cases of dengue fever have spread in the state of Florida, USA. Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by the mosquito known as "Aedes." It causes symptoms including fever, headache, nausea, and severe joint and bone pain, often referred to as "breakbone fever." Since the beginning of the year, 893 cases have been recorded, including 40 locally transmitted cases within the United States, most of them in Florida. There has been a significant increase of 359% in infections compared to previous years. The risk of the disease spreading is rising as the mosquito's range expands and with environmental pollution campaigns, highlighting the need to strengthen health surveillance and adopt preventive measures such as using insect repellents and wearing covered clothing. There is no specific treatment for dengue fever, and basic preventive measures include avoiding mosquito bites, especially in endemic areas. A vaccine exists, but it is intended for people who have previously contracted the virus and live in areas where infection is widespread, not for travelers.
