It has been reported on Australian TV that if the Indonesian government does not act on the mosquito problem tourism will be affected in the very near future.
The dengue fever cases in Australia have increased by 900% over this past year.
Doctors are telling people who have had the disease not to return to Bali again as they say another bite from the dreaded mossie may kill them.
The AMA have advised people not to return to Bali again once you have has the disease once.
If the Indonesian government do not act quickly they will lose thousands of tourists in the coming year.
This is not meant to scare people but be warned that you must take immediate precautions.
The only way to guard against Dengue is by using a product with at least 80% DEET in the product.
