Brits set for a summer holiday in Ibiza have been warned to be on alert following a number of dengue fever cases last year.
Six German tourists were struck down with the bug between May and November last year, say the local government, and there are fears of a second wave as the island gears up for its busiest period of the year, report Birmingham Live.
Spain’s government has said there is a “moderate” risk of people getting the fever during the summer. Spread by mosquitoes, the infection can be deadly to vulnerable adults, but it’s not usually serious and sufferers tend to recover within a few days.
