Dengue in Rio (a touch of humour)

Although dengue fever is definitely a very serious issue, we open a break here at the blog for a touch of humor (the serious stuff on dengue fever can be read at this other entry: 10 facts about dengue fever in Brazil)

For copyright issues I won’t reproduce here the cartoons published by the satirical website Kibe Loco, but I will give you the links to four recent cartoons with the same theme: dengue fever and Rio. I am providing translations of the texts appearing on the cartoons:

- Tourist, under the Rio heat, dress appropriately.
- Rio characters in time of dengue: Garota de Ipanema.
- Tourist attractions 2008.
- Mosquitoes are forever (007 against dengue fever).
