As excitement builds for the 2024 Paris Olympics, travellers need to be aware of the potential health risks. In another recent blog post we outlined how experts are concerned that the Paris Olympics could become a super-spreader event for dengue fever. While the games promise unforgettable moments, it is crucial to take proactive steps to ensure your trip is safe and enjoyable.
In this blog post we include a brief overview of dengue fever and the symptoms to look out for. Then we provide you with a list of key incognito products to pack and use during your time in Paris. Our products are award-winning and offer 100% protection for 4 hours against dengue-carrying mosquitoes.
Dengue Fever: A Growing Concern
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral illness. Mosquitoes thrive in warm, urban environments making the Paris Olympics a hotspot for transmission, especially with the large number of international visitors and crowds.
Symptoms of Dengue Fever:
- High fever
- Severe headache
- Pain behind the eyes
- Joint and muscle pain
- Rash
- Nausea and vomiting
