Puerto Rico recently declared a public health emergency after >500 cases of dengue have been confirmed to start the year. I will be staying for 5 full days and will be taking precautions (mosquito net, DEET, and permethrin). I've had symptomatic dengue before, and the risks of dengue hemorrhagic fever increase dramatically during a secondary infection, so I've been looking into the potential risks associated with this trip. I will be staying on the west side of the island.

This question resolves by April 26th to allow for potential incubation time of a dengue infection. Resolves no if I don't experience any symptoms, and resolves yes if I experience a fever (or other symptoms) and doctor confirmation. If I experience any fever I will find a doctor due to risk of severe secondary infection symptoms.

What will your split of time indoors vs outdoors be? Is this trip for office work, field/outside work, family visit (parks or indoor dinners mostly)? Feel free to answer only up to your willingness.
