Most commonly found in tropical regions, dengue puts 40-50% of the global population at risk. With symptoms ranging from fever, rashes, painful joint and muscle aches and vomiting, dengue symptoms can resemble the flu, but it can become life-threatening in a much different way.
Seeker spoke with Dr. Shannon Bennett from the California Academy of Sciences. Dr. Bennett is the curator of microbiology and the chief of science-in addition, she also studies the genetic makeup of dengue viruses.
To understand how dengue spreads, it helps to start with how it gets in.
Enter, the mosquito: specifically a species called Aedes aegypti.
Once the dengue virus gets in through the skin, it will eventually find its way into your lymph nodes and, then, bloodstream. And what is dengue’s primary target? White blood cells.
For those who find themselves sick as a result of dengue fever, sometimes the illness can take a dramatic turn leading to hemorrhagic fever and shock. This happens when your body’s antibodies respond to a second infection of dengue but don’t neutralize the virus the same way they would with the first strain you were exposed to.
Learn more about the disease coined the breakbone fever on this episode of SICK.

Experienced 1st Hand, to think that I almost died
same and me my sister also got it I waa hospitalized for 1 week my sister was 2 weeks
My friend got it and she was in bedpost for 10 days
yikes. Glad you're okay.
Same. My experience was a near death experience
For me it wasn't near death thankfully
Dengue! This is worse than I thought...
Malaysians: "First time?"
Ba dum tss!
Sebastian Elytron I was admitted recently too becos of dengue huhu
Yup it fucked me up real bad
I live in brazil and there is 5 diseases caused by mosquitos
I'm telling you guys, we need to eradicate the existence of mosquitoes.
they're probably thinking the same thing, hence all the viruses.
But, they grow so fast
If we eradicate mosquito then it will be much worse it will effect the Eco system
Mosquitoes are not the problem, in fact they are beneficial to us because they are pollinators. The problem is the patogens they transmit, so we should be fine only by not getting bitten. We should invent some kind of repellent vaccine that prevents mosquitoes from biting for a lifetime, that would be awesome!
Isolating them is better... But where?
Bit by a mosquito while watching this..
They hate this info.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me also scared the hell out me
I survived strain 4 dengue....
Was admitted in the ICU for like 2 weeks but survived it😁
That sounds painful 😱 You are a survivor and now immune to all four strains. Congratulations, Superhuman. You earned it!
Wuts strain 4 dengue?

@@ronlionheart1646 oh okie
@@Cappyblappy416 There are 5 strains of dengue. Getting one strain doesn't make you immune to the others. In fact, the second or third infection is much worst than the first infection.
It feels like dying. Seriously, I had it 5 years ago.

Same

Two years ago i had dengue fever.. it's a near hell experience
I actually contracted it while living in the Philippines. Was in the hospital getting fluids for 5 days. Was the first foreigner to go into the Davao Private Hospital to not need a blood transfusion when admitted for dengue. My immune system thankfully was strong enough to fight it hard.
I got it in the Philippines too haha
A lot of people already die because of dengue here in the Philippines specially children.
@@kidcannabis7878 Oh no,that's no bueno. Hope the babies get protected somehow
@E-best agressive agressor I would not be getting the vaccine at this point for the reasons the woman says in this video.
@E-best agressive agressor i dont think you are one of us. Even kids here know how to call themselves correctly. And you are mixing politics means you are just a troll.
Got strain 3 dengue last year.
I'm happy I'm alive!
I went to Cambodia on a school trip about a year ago and ended up getting dengue fever. It didn’t hit me till I got back but then I was in and out of hospital for about a week. Luckily enough I didn’t have the more serious version that actually kills people but it still felt absolutely awful, had me in bed for most of a few days and took well over a month to fully recover from.
Oh really?! I live in Cambodia and I have never even heard about this disease. Malaria is what scared us everyday.
Soma Nith , I’m pretty sure it’s rarer than malaria - I know that I was very unlucky to catch it
Mosquito repellent sellers disagree, profits after all

Having had Dengue at age 6 on vacation in Thailand, I can assure you it’s not a fun thing to go through. I only have a few flashes of memory from the time, since I was so incredibly out of it due to the high fever. Thankful that I got healthy.
Death by dengue is an ugly sight. I've been witness to some. Bleeding from nose, eyes, ears gums.
That's the severe case ...most are not that dangerous
My experience with Dengue was that it gave me intense body aches and a high fever that wouldn't go down for a 2 consecutive days. I got admitted to the hospital and they stuck an IV in me. I took me a week to fully recover. My advice is to drink plenty of water and just sleep a lot to help speed up recovery. :)
hi, did you have an itchy rash?
Just got it recently. Had some serious body aches and headaches.
Caught it back in 2005. I wasn't the only one, my whole family caught it. Within a week, my entire family was admitted into the same hospital. It was an outbreak in our neighborhood. Several of my neighbors had it too.
hi, did you have an itchy rash?
I had it 2 times already and was hospitalized. Its like having flu but with rashes all over your body. Whats scary was the bleeding risks due to low platelets and if i get it again, the more severe my symptoms can be.
How bad was it the second time? Ive got it once and I am scared of getting it again.
I rn have a possibility of contracting second time dengue, and I dont think I will make it. Im skinny, and I probably have low immune system. I dont think I can make it
@@yesyouarecorrect1315 use mosquito repellent and don't travel to tropical regions.

hi, did you have an itchy rash?
Thank you Shannon Bennett for your
contribution, your continuous work in this field of study, your contribution is great. I pray your hard work pays off and a cure is found.
I was contracted with dengue back in 2017....the worst pain I had in my lifetime.....felt lik dying.....luckily I survived. .....Thanks to my doctor.......Even still now my joints are paining coz of it.....platelets went below critical.....
Its the worst....so keep away from bloody mosquitoes. ...
Keep your surrounding clean and take a mosquitoes repellant people......

*What HApens When Someone Gets Dengue Fever:*
1. _Why am I still here...just to suffer.._
I was diagnosed with Dengue Fever 10 years ago and it was very uncomfortable. My platelet count went down to a dangerously low number and I didn't want to eat but the weird thing was I don't feel weak and never experienced the rashes caused by hemorrhagic fever. My nose bled a couple of times and the recurring high fever is so annoying. I thought I was going to die and it made me think about life. Good thing my immune system managed to defeat the virus. There is no cure and they will just observe your condition once every 2 hours taking blood samples making me end up looking like a junkie with all the needle marks on my arm.
I've had a cousin die of it in the Philippines. The worst part about Dengue is that it doesn't seem serious at first. Just high fever and some aches that people usually mistake for flu. Especially since most of the times, it isn't fatal. But in the cases where it becomes fatal, it becomes fatal at the very end, when it seems like the fever is lifting. And it progresses so quickly (less than 24 hours), it's scary. My cousin seemed like he was recovering, then he started bleeding from the nose then went comatose quickly. He died a few hours later. What's infuriating about that was the doctor misdiagnosed him because they didn't conduct a blood test and he wasn't showing the classic rashes symptom.
Anong hospital yan bakit walang blood test?
@@madbull2124 Public university hospital (my aunt was a professor), the doctor was young and probably more worried about the hospital's limited resources. My cousin was very athletic and in his mid-20s. So the symptoms probably didn't seem serious to him as well. Needless to say, my aunt and uncle were furious and wanted him sued for malpractice (he wasn't, but I think he eventually left the hospital a few months later on his own).
@@AngryKittensthe hospital didnt let hime take daily platelet count test?
@@shrock6629 The hospital didn't recognize his symptoms as dengue. I forgot, but I think they thought he had food poisoning or the flu, something along those lines. So probably no platelet counts at all. I don't know the details.
Again, it was a small on-campus hospital. Not much more than a nurse station really. The thing that still haunts my aunt, is if he had gone to any of the larger off-campus hospitals (there's plenty nearby, both private and public), they'd probably have recognized the symptoms immediately, since it's a common enough disease here. And he'd have survived.
But again, he wasn't feeling that bad, so he wrongly thought it wasn't serious enough to go to a bigger hospital. Compounded by an inexperienced doctor and a hospital with limited facilities, it ended up the way it did.
I love it, when you bring in the actual scientists! 👍
My favorite native radio program/podcast does exactly the same.
As a concept.
I actually wasn't aware, that we have so many different scientists at the front end of science, that we apparently do, here in Denmark.
Although I knew a few. 🙂
Which podcast is that? Sounds good
I had dengue 3 weeks ago and there were some important things that were not talked about in the video. The first week I had terrible fever about 40°c or 104°f but after 5 days I recovered and fever was gone completely. However my liver was mildly enlarged and sgpt and sgot levels turned out to be very high when I did a liver function test. Also my platelets were dropped to 75,000 after day 2 of no fever but after that they started to increase back. These two things were not spoken about in the video at all which are important factors relating to dengue and those which needs explaining.
hi, did you have an itchy rash?
@@ibrohimismailov2993yes .. I am currently recovering from dengue and have had itchy rashes .. which when i itch , turns even more red and then the skin kind of feels to come off
I had denge when I was a kid, I literaly don't remember the next 2 days I think I spent those in bed knocked out
I was diagnosed with a Dengue virus 8 years ago. It’s bad but thankfully I recovered.
Today's fact: The word "Jurassic," which we so often associate with dinosaurs, comes from the Celtic word for "forest".
Good to know.
Welcome... to *_Forest Park_*
The Jurassic time period is marked in the fossil record by petrified wood. Microbes that could decompose wood had not yet evolved so trees lived a LOOOONG time and didn’t rot when they died bringing the atmospheric oxygen content significantly higher than it is today. Big animals, big bugs, big trees.... The Jurassic was big.
Being chased around by angry Willow-trees. What a thought... Any chance Tom Bombadill is gonna come charging out at them? Cause that would, y'know, be kinda cool... XP
I had hemorragic fever in Burma 3 years ago and it was scary. It's a horrible and life-threatening thing so its really important to take care of yourself in heightened areas. Repellant, mosquito net, etc.
Really love the new 'sick' series keep up the good work!
This series is just amazing! Keep up the good work :)
I had dengue 3 times in my life. It's a horrible sickness. Many friends and neighbors of mine die. Sometimes it comes without any symptoms. The key to not die is drinking as much water as you can. No medicine will help you, but keeping your body hydrated will prevent it to get in its hemorrhagic fever stage. So if you're in South America and suspect you got it, just drink water!
It made my heels hurt
I had dengue a year back. And guys it is not a joke!
I was surprised Seeker releasing a video at the same time when just recently started causing panic in my city.
Where were you when I had the Infectious Diseases exam in medical school?? Great video, btw
I lived in Venezuela all my life, getting Denge was normal. Everyone acted like 'oh you got Denge? First time huh' and practically no one does nothing unless it gets hemorragic.
I have had Dengue Fever or at least just one strain... there are 4 strains here in Aus... so... yeah... not fun.

@David Thomas I was going to mention the joys of Ross River Fever as well... but thought better of it :D
great work doctor.. thank you!!
I think that person will turn to a mosquito hentai monster
Much better sound mixing by the way. Nice work.
Great info guys I really love your stuff.
I am a dengue survivor..Its one heck of a disease..I thought I was a goner, then I was given pappaya leaf extract..it helped me to regenerate my platlate count..a little of fluids helped me to recover fully..but most people in my native weren't so lucky
This was a really interesting episode!
Just got dengue positive today, thank you for the video!
You feeling better now
I no it’s make me hot and cold
Got this on my 25th birthday. Went to a doctor who probably gave some analgesic injection and sent me home. Had a nice birthday and didn't fell so bad. The next morning was so horrible. Couldn't get out of bed and had to be carried down the stairs because I couldn't stand straight up. Hospitalised for 4 days. There is no cure. The doctor's job is to keep you alive till your body fights off the infection.
A former classmate (who I didn't particularly like back then) wasn't so lucky. He died a couple of days later due to multiple organ failure.
Wow thank you so much for this video! I am in Costa Rica currently and was diagnosed with dengue fever today 😷😷😷
"can take 7 days to a week to find lymphnodes" wait.. how many days in a week again?
I've had it 3 times already and have developed a phobia to mosquitos. Please eradicate them.
XD
It's been an hour since my cousin sister was identified with dengue.
I almost died of this and when I finally recovered after loosing 15kg within one month, I wrestled with chronic fatigue for more than a year. And, here we are, worried of Covid! Give Dengue to elderlies and show me one who survives! Covid is like butter in front of Dengue!
Srsly??

My son got this two weeks ago, he was in the hospital for a week. One of my students was also out of school for four days last week. :(
When I was in India, I was amazed how there was a clear schedule when the mosquitos would come out and bite you: dawn and dusk. Now i know it is a specific species of mosquitos! (that spread dengue fever)
Its usually in night time
Just got it last year, not that serious just a continuous fever k
Of 107°f , vomiting blood and 13k platelets , doctors went from 100% to 40 chances of recovery. Grateful to be alive now.
Hi im jerico 16 yrs old ihave dengue virus pray for me 😇😢
It's been only a week since i recovered from Dengue. Oh Well!
How long you were sick for for me I will seek for nine months
15/october 2019 am infected with this disease plzz pray for me😭
@Arslan Tahir thank you brother god bless you❤
I also got dengue last two months, and it was horrible for me and nearly super dangerous because my immune system was week, so the doctor admitted for me to stay in hospital for about a week, but alhamdolillah I recovered by giving drip and vitamins
By the way get well soon bro ❤️
Most important thing is to drink plenty of water, be careful from dehydration!! I’m telling you.
I got it on oct 6th and now im feeling ok... Do not panic and worry.. Take papaya leave juice and pomegranate
Juice it will increase platelets
How are you now
Great video..
Singapore: yes we have this many times.
Absolutely painful. Two of my friends have it. They skipped school for weeks.
Hey, I got sick of dengue almost exactly a month ago. I didn't feel sick. But the thermometer showed symptoms of fever. Physically I could do anything, but walking short distances such as going to the bathroom made me extremely tired. After 9 days I was feeling so much better, so I decided to do a round trip to the 3rd floor of my house.....
When I returned I was short of breath and extremely tired X_x.
But then again, I never felt sick. And I know that it was dengue because blood analysis said so. But in this specific case, for me, the only symptom was extreme laziness and tiredness.
Had this 4 years ago and when I first experienced the symptoms, the electricity went out in my old hometown lol was hospitalized for 2 weeks and my platelets went down to the 40s or so and ppl ask me why I have generalized fear of bugs/flies/insects
I felt like killing myself every single day during the 7 days I was admitted to the hospital
The pain and the joint weakness even persisted after 30 days
me too. The headaches were worst. I wanted to take a gun and shoot my head from the pain. I was also hallucinating from fever and I started bleeding. Injections every 4 hours to stop me bleeding.
When I first got dengue few years ago, it was completely different than what it is now.
Pretty much acts the same way as cancer
I had dengue fever 4 years ago. I had a weak immunity but I survived without needing a blood transfusion
Crazy pain behind the eyes, weak wrist and forearm muscles, terrible back pain, diarrhea and sharp stomach pains, intense shivering and fever (sweating while shivering)... Weak, tired, thirsty for 2 days... Week to recover.
I didn't know I am suffering from such dangerous disease 😶😶😶
Ur not
A vlogger got one of the viruses mentioned in this video but the medical workers kept telling her she had the flu.
Only Australians will know this
"Stop dengue now hey"
I hate mosquito,i've got dengue 2 times i wonder how the heck that happened and this video gives the answer.
Unfortunately my Older brother died because of this and i almost die on the first one,be carefull with bugs and keep your home clean
I've had almost all mosquito borne diseases (excluding Zika): Dengue, Yellow Fever, West Nile, and the worst by far, Malaria. Mosquitos are a terrible plague that I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to fo through.
interesting video ... thankx
I've experienced dengue thrice already (i'm just 26 atm). 2 of those experiences almost got me. 1 had me bleeding and in coma the other one almost got me blind and made breathing VERY difficult.
How are you now? In how many month difference did you get the 2nd and 3rd infection?
I knew that a second contamination could be dangerous but not why. Thanks!
I got dengue 3 times while living in Brazil, it suck, but after the first time u just get used to it
Got it in Singapore. Messed me bad for one year as immune system was so weak after it

Luckily, I haven't gotten Dengue despite living in a tropical area.

The details of this video makes me panic more
Just diagnosed with Dengue fever today I had no idea what it was I had all symptoms except rashes now I'm in hospital for the next 5 days😪
Watching this as I was just diagnosed with dengue and we're watching my platelets and signs of hemmorrhaging. What a nightmare
Idunno if u still exist but i suffered of this and i am sure to say that i almost died this disease is horrible like hell but i na bed
Daniel still exist. So sorry you had to go through that and glad to hear you’re okay! Mine turned into meningitis. Pretty awful, so thankful to be alive.
And here I am in the hospital having dengue fever,..🤒 high fever, headache,..😭
I had got dengue a year ago was in hospital for over a week but thank God my immune system was strong so I didn't suffer much, the fever was continuous and over 104 and body ached a lot platelet count lowered to 30,000 (150,000 is healthy) but after that low it started to rise meaning I was getting well and got discharged from hospital soon after. I was recommended to eat kiwis papayas most fruits rich in vitamin c to regain lost health.
I lost my sister on 22nd April,2020. because of dengue hemorrhegic fever. it was her 2nd time bitten by an Aedes mosquito. we thought it was the flu. she had fever for 2 days that got worse on the 3rd day. She couldnt get off the bed had immense pain in her body and feet were cold but body had high fever all over. She went into shock, couldn't even form words, had several seizures, foaming from her mouth and was having trouble breathing. Hospitals wouldn't treat her thinking she was affected by the covid19. they didnot even bother test her. We could do nothing. She needed to be treated in the ICU.
Pls don't take fevers and body aches lightly. Don't wait for a few days for the fever to go down. My sister died after just 3 days of fever.
Sorry if i made any grammartical mistakes. English isn't my first language.
Dear Aeren sorry for your lost Sister thank you for sharing your story. I have just about recovered from dengue so was lucky sorry again for your loss.
@@davidmc7442 I'm really glad to hear you recovered! please be more careful from now on because dengue gets much more worse after each time. apply mosquito repellents when you are outdoors. The mosquitoes now carry even worse viruses for diseases such as EEE, zika etc. I wish something could've been done to get rid of them!
Please stay safe and eat plenty of healthy food since you are still recovering.
My girlfriend got dengue some years ago, she was put in hospitals for weeks. Just recently, she though she got it again but luckily she didnt get it for the 2nd time as thats a higher chance of die from it.
Definitely helped the insight of Dengue. Caught it when I was younger in the Philippines. A horrifying experience for me. I was delirious, I felt drugged up and I was in the hospital for weeks. I’m so glad I survived the obstacle.
Just got discharged from the hospital two days ago from my second time dengue :) this 2nd time had me in harder way than the first. I got a really strong headache. Can barely hear what I'm saying
Had it already 2 times with Japanese Encephalitis and Meningitis. The worst, literally the worst.
She is a very smart girl! 👍🏼👍🏼
Basically about a fourth of people I know caught it, luckily I wasn’t one of them
What a bad ass scientist!
How come there is no discussion about platelets?
Which is the most common symptom of dengue after i got bite from dengue mosquito?
what's the relation between dengue and Platelets?
last month got the dengue. took me more than 10 days to discharge from the hospital. as soon as the fever gone, platelets count gone to 50k. it took another half week to recover.
Ikr no one seems to explain that anywhere! My platelet count was down to 75,000 as soon as the fever was gone. But the next day it recovered back to 120,000 and then kept increasing from there
All viruses no matter how deadly, will die, meaning they have a lifespan. As they slowly disappear from your body your platelets will increase exponentially. Dengue virus attack your blood platelets. Sorry for my english.
Fascinating, and it now comes in 4 sero-delicious flavors!
Well west nile is in Mobile. My neighbor died from it a week ago. And no one in the area was notified and the news ignored it.
