Dengue Fever is back. For the first time in nearly 60-years Miami-Dade health officials have confirmed a case of locally acquired Dengue Fever. The disease is carried by mosquito, and was thought to be under control in Florida since 1934. However a recent outbreak in the Florida Keys meant it was only a matter of time until the disease made an appearance in Miami. 

"In Miami-Dade County, we now need to consider that Dengue is present," Sandra Fisher, Director of Mosquito Control,

. "It doesn't matter if it's north, east, west or south."

The disease causes symptoms similar to the flu, including a sudden fever with headache, muscle pain, and skin rashes. Nausea, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal side effects can also occur. In some cases, the disease can be fatal.
