Had it twice. Don't worry you will know if you have it.

If you feel like death (usual flu symptoms) and your joints ache, time to see a doctor. A simple tourniquet test (in endemic areas) will be enough to initiate treatment. Hopefully everyone travels with rehydration crystals/solutions and never lets themselves become dehydrated in the tropics (even self inflicted).

Pocari sweat is very useful in Bali and readily available.
