Britain Under a Possible Invasion of Chikungunya?
People who have chikungunya develop a fever that lasts a couple of days but they go on to suffer intense headaches, joint pains and insomnia for days or weeks after they are bitten.
The female mosquito can feed on human blood and is known for her quick, penetrating bite and the fact that she feeds throughout the day, and not just in the evening like many other mosquitoes.
It is also known to transmit dengue fever and can carry about 20 other viral diseases.
