    Good information Alex and unusual mosquito circumstances. I’ve plenty of experience working in Nigeria and Venezuela so hopefully dengue fever and falciparum malaria do not proliferate. Interesting all the travel companies make no mention on this infestation? Time to get the Jungle Juice out and calamine lotion! 🤓

    • @MallorcaUnderTheSun
      @MallorcaUnderTheSun  Год назад

      Thing is the mossies can appear anywhere in the Med - not just Álcudia - just that there are more waterways over there so the problem can be worse there. Saying that I didn’t get bitten al all last summer when we stayed for a few days !

      Ha, well put it this way, there are way more single men then women here. But it depends if you are moving here to live or you're coming on holiday too. Also it's a very transcient life for many and it's a very very small isalnd.. In summary, not great!
