Travel Advisories for SM

[BEFdoc]

With the news full of Ebola, there seems to be some talk about a virus in St. Martin. Anyone have any information about this? Transmitted by mosquito so the advice is to use DEET. The name starts with a "Chu".

 

Any information would be useful. Thanks

This has been talked about since approx. Dec 2013...Chikungunya...google for info and updates...

Terrible fearmongering title for a thread and a really unfortunate time for it since it was posted in the same week as the island suffered some damage from Hurricane Gonzola.

 

You didnt even post it as a question. Your title looks like a statement.

 

Look at your CDC website for travel advisories.

We were in St Maarten in February and it was a problem. The breezes at the beach keep the skeeters away so you shouldn't have a problem there. Some areas of the island seemed worse than others (we were there for two weeks). Spray yourselves with Deet if you are worried.

Both sides of the island have upped their public awareness campaigns and spraying/fogging operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Gonzalo.
