According to two of the country�s leading epidermiologists who act as advisers to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, dengue fever could actually cause havoc in the United States – spreading itself widely as mosquitoes that transmit the disease can move into more states. Anthony Fauci and David Morens state in their article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that the potentially deadly virus that usually strikes in the tropics has already struck Hawaii and Texas.

The reason for this is the erratic climate changes caused by global warming. If you�ve noticed, there has been an increase in rainfall and that temperature and humidity changes have also changed dramatically in the recent years.

Water + heat + humidity = happy mosquitoes

And what is scary is that according to the United Nations’ 2007-08 Human Development Report , �these types of weather changes may more than double the number of people exposed to dengue worldwide by 2080. �

Woops! And they say Al Gore was wrong� Tsk!
