Does Dengue Fever bites Itches?!
Question: I'm very worried because I keep getting mosquito bites in my house and they itch a lot! I heard that dengue fever bite does not itch, is that true? I feel fine, but can I go see a doctor before the symptoms actually do appear?

All bites itch. It's a natural reaction when foreign subtances (the mosquito's saliva) enter the body. You are possibly overreacting, and the diagnosis for Dengue Fever is usually symptomatic so it wouldn't make much sense going to your doctor unless you start to experience symptoms.
Throbbing headache, pain behind the eyes, high fever and chills, vomitting, tiredness, loss of appetite are all the symptoms of dengue fever and you'll definitely know what it is if you have it.
You probably WON'T catch it, however.
