Breakbone fever in Miami. Eradicated in Florida after 1934, Dengue is a tropical disease spread by Aedes aegypti. I raised mosquitoes in school and later would develop far too much knowledge about explorer and tropical diseases. #ThirdWoldProblems local10.com/news/local/201…
Aedes aegypti is an African vector. Aedes means "odious"_ "aegypti" you can figure out. It came over here with the slave trade and is a transmitter of for many diseases: chikungunya, dengue, yellow fever and Zika. It bites at dawn and dusk. Look for the white bands on the legs.

Trump pushes back against foreign invasion yet promotes foreign thinking. Specifically nepotism, non labor wealth, nationalism, dark alliances, militarism and protection of unearned power. The European city/state philosophy that led to World War One and... the rise of America.
