‘Breakbone fever' outbreak imminent in UK, warns expert – plus the ‘CLOAK' method to help prevent it
WHILE Brits have been basking in the recent hot weather, a bite prevention expert has warned it's the perfect breeding conditions for mosquitoes in the UK. And that an outbreak of dengue fever could be on the way. 1 It's that time of year again when the sky is awash with mosquitoes. With lots of stagnant water around from the recent thunderstorms, followed by hot weather, expert Howard Carter, creator of Incognito insect repellents, said there are record numbers about. He explained: "People are already getting eating alive and coming to me for advice." As well as causing itchy, red bumps with their bites, mosquitoes can also transmit a number of diseases. The risk from vector-borne diseases - illnesses transmitted to humans by organisms such as mosquitoes and ticks - in the UK is increasing, according to the UK Health Security Agency. Global travel and trade and changing land use among the causes. "In fact last year there were record numbers of people bringing back dengue and malaria," added Carter. He continued: 'They're out for blood." The Asian tiger mosquito, aedes albopictus, which can carry dengue, is present in the UK, but currently does not carry the dengue fever virus. But because UK residents are bringing back more mosquito-borne diseases from overseas travel, it's only a matter of time before there is a dengue outbreak on these shores, Carter warned. Dengue Fever: What You Need to Know "It's a similar story with malaria, which had a resurgence after Covid,' he added. 'With the World Health Organisation (WHO) reporting record numbers of dengue cases worldwide, it won't be long before the Asian tiger mosquitoes will reach the UK in huge numbers.' Most people who get dengue will not have symptoms. But for those who do, the most common symptoms are high fever, headache, body aches, nausea, and rash. The body aches can make sufferers feel like their bones are breaking, which is why the infection is often nicknamed 'breakbone fever'. Dengue fever is considered a significant public health concern, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, as it can lead to severe illness and even death if not managed properly, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. One of the best things you can do to prevent an outbreak occurring is to prevent getting bitten, said Carter, who recommends using the CLOAK method at home and abroad. The CLOAK method C – Cover up arms and legs with suitable clothing. L – Light coloured clothes are strongly advisable because mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours. O – Odours bodily or ordinary scented washing products and perfumes can be strong attractants. So wash with citronella or other repellent shower gels, shampoo and soaps. If you are a mosquito magnet exfoliate with a loofah. A – Apply an effective, preferably natural, insect repellent containing PMD. " Incognito contains the purest PMD, so is therefore stronger and is clinically proven to provide 100 per cent protection," said Carter. K – Keep away from stagnant water if possible. Many mosquitoes tend to zero in on the ears, wrists and ankles, because this is where skin is thinner and blood vessels are nearer the surface. So Carter says it's a good idea to wash with a soap or loofah that contains citronella, then spray and use a moisturiser containing a clinically proven repellent. "But always use the spray last," he adds. "Use protection on any exposed skin and spray your clothing as well; mosquitoes can and will bite through fabric, even thick jeans! "Spray an insect repellent on and around your door before entering, as mosquitoes often lie in wait on the outside of doors and windows and this simple procedure helps to keep them out." What are the symptoms of dengue fever? Dengue won't always cause symptoms, according to NHS guidance. But if you do experience some, they'll usually come on four to 10 days after an infected mosquito bites you. The symptoms can be similar to the flu and include: Fever Severe headache Pain behind the eyes Muscle and joint pain Nausea and vomiting Widespread rash Abdominal pain Loss of appetite There is no cure or specific treatment. Patients can relieve their symptoms via painkillers, staying hydrated and resting. In rare cases, dengue symptoms can develop into severe dengue. Elderly patients, or those with other medical conditions, are most at risk. Severe dengue fever symptoms can include: Severe skin bleeding with spots of blood on and under the skin Blood in the urine and stools Respiratory distress - when the lungs cannot provide the vital organs with enough oxygen Organ failure Changes in mental state and unconsciousness Dangerously low blood pressure You should call 999 or go to A&E if you experience any of the severe symptoms.

Maris Racal on her past romantic relationships: ‘I have a lot of regrets'
After a string of highly publicized relationships and a controversial cheating scandal, actress-singer Maris Racal has decided to step away from the dating scene for now. In an interview with broadcast journalist Karen Davila, Racal said she's choosing to remain single to give herself space to heal and grow and admitted that she's not yet ready for another relationship. 'I feel like I need to give myself some space to grow and to really process everything. I don't know, but that's what I'm saying now, but I don't know about tomorrow,' she said. In December 2024, Jennings' then-girlfriend Jam Villanueva accused him of cheating and shared screenshots of alleged conversations that pointed to a romantic involvement between Jennings and Racal. In June 2024, Racal ended her relationship with musician Rico Blanco, with whom she had been romantically linked since 2021. When asked by Davila if she had any regrets about her past relationships, Racal gave a candid response. 'They may be painful but nilalagay ko na siya sa moral compass ko so that wherever I go I know what to do,' she added. Racal recently wrapped up her role in the action-drama series Incognito, which she credited as a major factor in helping her move on and refocus.
