[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

I have heard tell of Bali being really dirty. And, Dengue fever is a real threat over there, and in all places with mosquitoes.

Where do your folks live, please? I like that they have a pool.

[@terryannemacdonald3058]

awesome, video, hope you feel better and are well healed from this experience!

If dengue comes from mosquitos then most Americans have denigue because we all travel to Cancun and Mexico and the Bahamas etc. Mosquitos everywhere.

[@bevcoop6bc]

I felt like crying with you!!! I’m so glad your mom was able to come to your aid. I’m planning on movie to Bali this year by myself so I really appreciate all your advice. Hope and pray your better.❤

[@monochrome1219]

We locals (I'm not from Bali, but Indonesian) are also afraid to get Dengue. Find out which months that most susceptible to get Dengue (mostly rainy season) and buy some insect repellent. Spray your room with insect repellent before you go outside, and use some mosquitos repellent lotion before you sleep. If you don't like the lotion one, you can buy some natural oil like cajuputi (minyak angin), or baby product (minyak telon). If you're living in a villa for a long time, check if they provide you with mosquito net. If they're not, consider to buy one, it's cheap. Also ask if you can burn some mosquito coils in veranda.

[@plahoda9242]

I work for an airline. I’ve never travelled without insurance. I’ve seen so many problems with people who have been sick, bike accidents, car accidents, infections. Once I saw a woman who broke her back after falling off an elephant, another person lost their eye after zip lining and hit in the face with a branch. Just so you know, medivac back to the USA from Thailand Bali can cost upwards of $500,000 at your expense if you don’t have insurance. That is paid to the doctor, 2 nurses and 2 pilots onboard the aircraft, the fuel and the maintenance of the aircraft.

[@RIZFERD]

She's just dramatic Born Indonesian with multiracial multilingual background living around the world all alone since childhood including 8 years Europe 2002/2003-2010, etc. The diets and lifestyle of western world including the mindset and formal education full of lies including drawing Indonesia too small since Mercator projection 1569 shape the weakness of westerners. Natural immunity of westerners are low, some of the lowest in the world. Even Alcohol, meat, etc are weakening your body immune system. I am back on Sumatra the past 5 years after Bali and Jakarta my birth town, I am in the middle of our family thousands of years private lands and naturally I have my natural immune against anything so called dangerous including mosquitoes, even wild snakes and so on are harmlessly tame around me.

Bali is a tropical island. Naturally any diseases related to tropics are common. That why one year travel insurance at least cover $100.000 is a must. Hope you recover well and continue to visit Bali again.

Loved this very real and authentic video Danie. It really touched my heart 💗This was 2 years ago so I am sure you are doing wonderfully well now and traveling somewhere around the globe again. Thanks for sharing your touching story!

[@tevita6411]

I had the same thing a couple of years ago traveling through Asia Pacific and the one thing I always had with me was antibiotics. I’m glad you made it out safe and you’re well…all the best

[@inezy6329]

Fyi you can't fight dengue with antibiotics coz it is a virus. You need to drink lots of water n isotonic water or coconut water. In Malaysia we will take the juice of papaya leaves for three days. This method is even endorsed by our Health Ministry on its website. Just two tablespoons per day. N you need to drink crab soup for a few days to increase your platelet level back to normal. The fever is the most painful but the most critical time is AFTER the fever subsided..that's when the virus is either weakening or getting more violent in which case you will develop bleedings of your internal organs. If you find your nose or gum starting to bleed go to the hospital immediately. The doctors will give plasma transfusion to you. But as I said, the locals will take papaya leaf juice n.crab soup to ensure the platelets increase..the reason for the bleeding is because the platelets have gone down too low. This will be fatal if not treated. Rashes will come out after the fever n if you r not bleeding, the recovery will be for about a week whereby you will still feel lethargic n sore. The virus will forever exist in your liver though after you have had dengue.

[@alexbaum2204]

I contracted dengue. I believe it was while cycling around Lombok. Got back to Bali after about a week over there and was woke up in my place around 3am with bad body pains. Figured I might have the flu. Fell back asleep and woke up around 5 in the worst pain I’ve ever been in. Basically rolled around in pain all day. Zero strength. Went to the hospital that night and they told me doing blood work then would be pointless because it was too soon, but the doctor said it was probably dengue. Went back the next night and it was confirmed. At the same time, the pain had almost completely subsided. The doctor told me everything that would happen over the next week almost to a tee. Unbelievable how predictable that virus is. After three days feeling totally fine (maybe a bit tired), I started developing a weird rash all over my arms. Then started getting super tired and nauseous. My girlfriend was prepared for this and she took me to a nearby hospital. I thought I was in there for a night. I was in there for 6 nights. When I was checked out, I still felt woozy for a couple days. Couldn’t get the taste of copper out of my mouth for a good month. Easy to get car sick and air sick running business trips to Java. It rocked me completely to my core for about 2 months. Dengue is not to be played. That was about 8 years ago. I’ll never forget it. And I’ll be sure to always use repellent. It can save your life.

[@DanieJay]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for sharing. I hope that you’re feeling fully recovered now. It’s nice that your girlfriend knew and was prepared with what to do. It’s been over three months now, and my hair is still falling out from the dengue.🙃

[@alexbaum2204]

I have had Dengue twice now. You are lucky, the last time nearly killed me. My blood count went below the border line. Thing that saved me was Guava juice. After 1 week in hospital and drinking the juice twice a day my health improved

[@DanieJay]

Omgoshhh so glad you’re okay!!! I can’t imagine getting it again and having it be worse!

[@osvster]

I'm just going to put it here for everyone. If you're on any tropical country, you'll likely get dengue there. If so, it's best to go to hospital. There's a high chance that you will stay there for sometime so be aware of that. Locals know about Dengue and they know that they treat this seriously by going into hospital. But good thing is, once you done with the ordeal, you will be immune to dengue for the rest of your life. This disease has medium chance of lethality if untreated after long periods of time (high chance if you're not treated by any means) but if you're getting treatment, it would be as low as normal fever. But the discomfort from this is going to be a bit miserable (You will live, but few days of suffering and discomfort).

[@susijohnston7952]

I really feel for you! I lived in Bali for 22 years and got dengue fever twice. I was well-settled and I speak fluent Indonesian, but even with these huge advantages, it was absolutely awful and frightening in a way most people will never understand, because of how things are there. So I totally feel for you, and watching this part of your story made me feel like reaching right into my laptop to give you a big hug and a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. You're a strong person. That's obvious. You'll do well wherever you find yourself in the future. The tough times and disappointments and hard decisions you've faced have made you become the wiser and more compassionate person you are now. Nobody can take that away from you. Go forth and flourish! x x o o x x

[@DanieJay]

Thank you so much for your kind words Susi! To be honest, I am happy that it happened. I think that going through that alone made me a stronger person. I prayed so much in the hospital and had to sit with my thoughts. I think the hard things we go through are there to strengthen us in the end. Blessings in disguise. I can’t believe you had it twice! I’ve heard the 2nd time is much worse…so I’m glad you’re okay! I can’t even imagine it being worse than it was! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DanieJay]

@@TG-kp1ph Thank you for the kind words! Yes, so MANY people travel without travel insurance I've come to find out. So I really pray this saves people money and gets them better care if or when something happens. That's so wild that it would have been an 18k flight! I hope you're okay now! The man in blue, no has name starts with an I lol!

[@TG-kp1ph]

@@DanieJay Even if you help 1 person you have done your job but I bet this will make many people more aware & take better precautions when travelling. The flight home for me required some medical attention while in flight so this is the reason why my flight home was so costly. I am feeling much better from that experience, but I am having some long term issues following that condition so it’s been rough. Thanks for letting me know about your Friend in the blue. My friend looks like his twin. I’ve lost contact with him in the last couple of years & as he travels around the world I last heard he was living in Turkey so I wanted to know if he & his family were safe. It’s just a tragedy what’s happening over there. All the best on your travels, & hopefully you get to return to Bali soon. 😊

Not only spray stuff, you don’t get it the LESSON IS?? BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE!! I’m Vietnamese- our country is not rich & have no PROJECT WELFARE FOR PPL WITHOUT HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. WE TELL EVERYONE TRAVEL HERE SHORT TERM & LONG TERM BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE!! Alots of YOUNGFUL TRAVEL NOT BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE!! Then they rents the motorbike & ride like horrible dumb & get accidents terrible. NO MONEYS!! For humanity right, our hospital have to surgery for them!! But after that - they’re throwing shit & screaming it public hospital is NOISY & CROWD. They’re even begging locals give them moneys to by another TRIPS TO FINISH THEIR TOURIST!! I’m not jokes!! That’s why in recent years ALOTS VIETNAMESE PPL HATE RUSSIAN YOUNGFUL TOURISTS. Their brains is different level I KNOW PPL IS YOUNG & MISTAKES!! A lot of Youngful ppl not think about travel insurance - when they buy ticket - agency ADVICE THEM BUY INSURANCE- but they think it too expensive & wasteful since they’re BIG ASS MUSCLE YOUNGFUL SO WHY WASTE?? THEY MUST BE SILLY OF THEY BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE. What the fk logical?? 😅

[@perrypelican9476]

I had pneumonia in Greece, a rare disease in Peru, a high fever with terrible back pain in afghanistan. This was in the 1970's when hospitals in those places were not great, to say the least. I think I was lucky to have survived. I recommend to not travel alone unless it is for work for a company that has an insurance and medical arrangements in advance in case of emergency. Don't depend on being lucky.

Yes get insured.. I did but didnt actually use it..on my first longer trip. Through a guide rushing me in India I fell and had torn ligaments ..my trip was really ruined but at least no broken bones. I saw an amazing Indian doctor for 50 gbp inc meds he had me in a hospital bed in his home 3 nurses to give me intravenous as my asthma had worsened and painkillers for leg plus some natural pills.. at least had respite for about 2 weeks with that. I ll never rush again for anyone and look after myself on my trips now although cant afford longterm at present. I also had what vaccinations were appropriate and had them slowly so didnt affect my breathing.. I dont know about dengue guess as malaria there isnt anything much..

Hi. Dengue can only be found in tropical countries including SINGAPORE. Yes Singapore. Dengue fever starts from the mosquitoes called Aedes. These mosquitoes only come out during night fall. Probably ard 5pm - 7pm. Just get yr mosquito repellent and your travel insurance. So sorry that happened to you during Yr stay in Bali. It is just unfortunate. Once you got dengue, you will never get it again as u will be immune to the aedes bite. Some may still get it again. If in bali, try avoiding staying near padi fields. It's more risky. Anyhow, since you are home, have a good one and enjoy!. Life is short!

[@guadaguppy4798]

from my understanding and please if im wrong anybody can correct me. there are 4 strains of dengue. if you get bit for the first time by any of these 4 strains you get sick. but after you pass this you are immune from that strain biting you and reinfecting. if you get bit by another strain then the antibodies of the first and 2nd come back thats why subsequent dengue is more serious. but if you get bit by the same strain you are actually immune to that already.

Serious question I got told it was the law to have travel insurance to go to bali, as my wife just booked our tripe and I said don't waste money on it, and she said its the law in bali that they don't let you in at immigration unless we produce travel insurance, we both fly end of August and we now both have travel insurance which was $120 each

[@xantiom]

Also, your credit card might include a travel health insurance by default. Some cards include the insurance _even if you haven't purchased the plane tickets with the card_ but recently many issuers changed the policy to only cover if you purchased airfare with them. So be sure to read the fine print and see the perks and limitations of your credit cards.

Dengue fever is very common in Indonesia and there is a season where the number of cases would rise higher. I once got it too when I was a kid, but it wasn't too bad coz my mom detected the fever pretty quickly and took me to a doctor. I never get dengue ever since and I heard people said once you get it, your body will have some sort of immunity and there is a low chance you might be infected again. But yeah, everywhere you go, no matter what country, there is always a possibility of getting sick or get into qccident, so having travel insurance is a must. I went to Vietnam before the pandemic. I fell down when I got robbed because I was trying to hold on to my backpack. I had to be rushed to hospital afterwards coz I was bleeding quite bad from leg to my chin. Luckily I did buy travel insurance 2 days before I left for Vietnam. That was one time that I got so unlucky during traveling. There is always a misfortune, anytime, anywhere...so everyone take care of yourself well.

@@DanieJay Dengue fever can be life-threatening if not treated properly. But actually it kills less people than other diseases including COVID-19. the symptoms are fever more than 39° C for 3 days, strong headache. after that you are back to normal temperature, but you still feel unwell. something wrong inside your body. that's why you need to be hospitalized. so remember to have travel insurance wherever you go. the normal recovery time is 7-10 days start from the first time you get fever. The sooner you are treated, the faster it will heal

Great Vlog. First time at your channel.

[@SoulWhisperer]

Glad you are feeling better!

[@DanieJay]

Thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@paulapenna-loveyourvoice]

Im so sorry you went through this, especially alone! I can imagine how helpless your mom must’ve felt, too.

[@DanieJay]

So homesick! But so good to be reunited with fam! Thanks Paula!

[@mrc6182]

Always get travel insurance! However, Safety Wing has restrictions for older travellers and can get very expensive, so people should shop around. I personally carry Squaremouth or Nationwide. ANYWAY, I was thinking of moving to Ubud a couple years ago - until I ran into the Bali medical reality - especially in Ubud! NOT a good place to get sick! Glad you pulled through and best of luck on your future travels.

[@TinyEpics]

Just randomly discovered your channel. Great stuff!

[@KatieGettysCoaching]

So so glad you're okay 💛

[@DanieJay]

Thanks Katie! So happy to be back at it! ❤❤❤❤❤

Hope you feel better! Dengue is no joke but hey, you made it in one piece!

[@DanieJay]

i made ittttt!!! thanks, Joseph!

[@nonyabizz3533]

Do we have it in America? Is it worse than Lymes disease?

[@azharidris7092]

Dangue is common in south east asia.. you can't run away from it.. once you recover you should be ok for life..

[@akireparjoko]

Had dengue many times when I was living there, many other people I know had it too. Had angkak ( red fermented rice) as home remedy which increases trombosite, so I'd never been hospitalized.

[@dianeibsen5994]

Hi Erica. so you never had any symptoms when eating this rice? Who had told you about it?

[@narcissismrehabilitation]

I am very sorry to watch that you contracted this illness. Horrible, but I’m glad you made it.

[@DanieJay]

Thank you for the kind words! It was definitely a wild experience…I’ll always buy travel insurance from now on!

[@WHALECLUB01]

Dengue is pain BUT IS TEMPORARY. Nothing to worry about at your young age. I got it 3 times in my life and i was between 6-10 years old. No medicine just walk on the beach swim , local tea, cream and and it pass after 1 week or so

[@susijohnston7952]

THINK: Climate Change -- -- -- After reading the comments here I remembered how this relates to human-triggered climate change chaos. These mosquitoes and the diseases they carry have been spreading their wings (so to speak) and expanding their range rapidly, due to global warming and altered rainfall patterns. That's why this story isn't just about Bali, or even about tropical destinations. These mosquitoes, and the dengue virus they can carry, are now becoming constant residents in many places where they never existed before, especially in Europe, the USA, and parts of Asia that didn't know dengue until now. This is real. We all have a lot to learn.

[@susanwildes]

I'm so sorry this happened to you!! And hope you're recovering more every day. It is SOOOOO important to have travel/health insurance. I broke my leg (badly at the knee) and had to have surgery and stay in a Thai hospital for a week, where they barely spoke English and I had to use a bed pan every day. AND it would have cost me $12,000 US if I didn't have insurance. Also, my recovery took almost 5 months and a LOT of physical therapy (not covered by my insurance). And like you, I was all alone, no family or friends to rely on.

[@mtha7796]

What's Thai hospital? $12,000 for curing broken leg is expensive.

[@susanwildes]

@@mtha7796 Thai International in Koh Samui. :((

[@elijahwoolley6486]

You definitely got ripped off. Thailand is the cheapest place on the planet to get any medical work with no insurance down.

[@MikeKollin]

@@mtha7796 Is that U.S. Dollars or Thai? And when you get Travel Insurance, do you get it from that country or here in the U.S.??

[@KimAhrina11]

@@elijahwoolley6486 he probably went to the best hospital/non official one, it's expensive especially with no insurance. They didn't rip off

[@davec2107]

BEWARE OF MOSQUITOS These travel vids never talk about the insects, rodents etc. That can be a very serious problem especially in these tropical areas. This Dengue fever can be devastating with lasting effects. I will now take Bali off my travel list!

[@anaecoenzyme3408]

Dengue is very common in the tropics, it's also not rare in singapore :o, we sometimes have red zones, yellow zones etc in dengue season. hope you're feeling better

[@darryl7839]

Can’t blame you! Just had a similar experience in Cancun.. it was amazing and I could’ve have spent much more time there but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to get out of there

[@DanieJay]

I'm so sorry to hear it! I hope you're feeling better!

Dengue is awful 😞 where I live it’s also very common. Glad you’re feeling better now!

I’m planning to be in Bali this winter and I’m very grateful for your sharing of your not so great travel experience. Had no idea that DF could be so brutal

[@DanieJay]

Yes, it hit me harder than most I think. I wonder if it was actually my second time getting it as I lived in Vietnam for a long time prior. Just wear bug repellent and get travel insurance and you'll be fine! ❤️

[@danirenaeh]

Hi! I'm going to bali starting November. Would it be alright to connect on insta?

[@oringo556]

Are you prone to mosquitoes bites? How do you catch Dengue

[@monikav5591]

Is this also common in Thailand? Is there a vacine to avoid any of these diseases?

[@SDSunriser]

Why are Closed Captions unavailable?

[@bradbeckett]

I spent a full 6 months all over Bali and never got sick once. Thailand too with one exception: a Chinese owned hotel breakfast buffet. I'd recommend clean water and electrolytes if you get sick. I seriously would have died if I didn't know to get electrolyte packets to mix with water. Now that you got Dengue once you qualify for the Dengue vaccine, if you dare.

[@PJ-Entrepreneur]

Google Dengvaxia

[@Triseye]

Dengue fever is a common sickness in tropical country, you guys should have a research about this so you avoid places that have a lot of mosquitos and you can buy some mosquitos repellent in some shop.

[@Dunno-h8r]

I went Bali for a month, a girl came to see me after a two weeks and she didn’t get insurance and her shoulder got dislocated and it cost1k to get painkillers and someone to pop it back in, always get travel insurance

[@MsLML77]

Your mom is so cute! 😊

[@valorandharvest]

Best vacation ever, we did 14 days there, will never forget it!

[@SuperCuteBabyCat]

ATTENTION !! , The first thing you need to do is drink water as much as you can , after pee drink water again and again and get some sleep and rest , drinking water is very important ! Seriously !

[@dianeibsen5994]

What's the locals do to keep from getting bit from mosquitoes? Bug spray is so toxic.

[@arwanasuperred1321]

we eat lots of garlic

How do you find guesthouses as a digital nomad? Is it just like an Airbnb or something?

[@brandyn6644]

Are the touchy hugs a common thing? How odd both girls did it at the coffee shop.

[@polyglotfrog]

All the best! I visit family a lot in Angola/Africa and Malaria is big and very dangerous there, also from mosquitos : TIPS that might help: -Always have mosquito repellent with you (day + night) / they love our extensions aka arms + legs + feets (easier to reach) -Room check up 1 : 2 hours before bedtime spray your entire bedroom with anti mosquito spray and go out to let the product act and dissolve (dont breathe it in please) -Room check up 2 : before bed check underneath bed, in wardroom (these f---- hide well/ I go with a towel and hit various places to make them come out :D ) -Evenings ALWAYS wear long sleeves tshirts + a white legging (black attracts mosquitos) + socks (even with sandals yes) Yes you might not look as fancy but if you are sitting on a terrace for hours at night this can save your life (ok if you are going out I understand then please mosquito spray) -Mosquito net -Sleep with leggings + socks! -Have a fan directed towards you, mosquitos are light and can't fly against the wind -Either malaria medication prior to the trip (Im not a fan) or post Malaria medication afterwards, cary with you the next 6 month (malaria can come out various month afterwards) Mosquitos are the 1st death reason in the world, Malaria and other mosquito led diseases kills hundred of thousands per year, just be careful and aware. Enjoy your trips!!

[@Shirumoon]

How do you protect the face? I imagine to be mosquito sprays to be incredibly irritating on facial skin and you cannot really spray it near your eyes/mouth.

Yep even in Costa Rica, I had dengue too few times, I know how you feel but dengue may be a risk in every tropical country! I am happy you are know feeling better, may sure to take care next time.

Oh i'm so sorry to hear you got it too! Yes, it definitely won't keep me from going back to Bali. I just wanted to get my health back in order with family around. ❤

All you have to do is stay hydrated and dengue will pass. People don’t die from dengue

Feel you!🙏😞 I live in Bali… had it twice 🤦🏻‍♂️ literally thought was going to die! Second time worse! Was/am all by myself, well with my dogs. Didn’t eat both times for over a week. Had to be in a dark room. Back had weird rash all over and body in so much pain! Never want to get that again!

[@Agoraphobication]

Can't help but notice most people leaving negative, mean comments on this video are men. Colour me surprised that men are dismissing a woman's illness and pain (sarcasm obviously). I'm sorry you went through this - it sounds like a really scary experience. It's admirable that you decided to change your plans based on what was best for you at the time rather than succumbing to sunk cost fallacy and sticking it out for the original two months when you wouldn't have enjoyed the remaining time.

[@DanieJay]

Thank you for your kind words. Dengue fever was the most sick I’ve ever been in my life, and the first time of ever needing to be hospitalized. But thankfully I’m feeling so much better and stronger than before! I absolutely loved the people, culture, and landscape of Bali…and I hope to be back one day.

[@enough1494]

I am from Culebra, Puerto Rico. I have had dengue several times, yes horrific! And insurance is a must when traveling
