#2328: Health safeguards in Haiti (fwd)
From: Jim G. Frisken <bk087@scn.org>
Regarding the recent posts on malaria etc, does any one know the
percentage of Haitians who've had malaria, and/or the percentage of
untreated visitors who get malaria or dengue fever? Also, once you've had
the desease, can you transmit it forever or just a short time? Can
North American mosquitos trasmit these deseases? Likewise, with
typical travellers dysentery, can you bildup a resistance to it by
consuming very small amounts of contaminated water, e.g. by brushing
teeth, then be immune, as was suggested? Jim
