Reid: I don't know how many days dengue takes to show up in a blood test, but I have been told by local "authorities" (I can't remember who it was, but it was someone who knew a great deal about local dengue) that it has an 8-day incubation period before the onset of the symptoms.
Most people here don't need a blood test to confirm they have dengue. When you've had a few times, you can spot it coming when you wake up tired in the morning. We have two forms of a pain killer/fever reducer which are cheap which effectively halt dengue in its tracks. I think it does it by holding the fever down so low that the infection can't rage out of control the way it does when you let it get out of control. The first time I caught it, it came on so rapidly that it trapped me in a restaurant three blocks from home. It hit in between the time I ordered dinner, and the arrival of the meal. I had instant raging fever and intense chills, so bad I couldn't leave the restaurant for two hours, until I felt I had enough energy to make the walk. I saw a 30-year old man, a tourist, freaking out in a local bar one night, and someone came to me and asked me to calm him down. He was freaking out because the same thing that happened to me was happening to him. Now when I wake up after a good night's sleep, and I'm tired, and perhaps yawn throughout the day, I recognize it as the onset of something, and megadose myself with CS. Works every time. 10 drops of Microdyn in a glass of water every eight hours 5 times over two days. Hope this info helps.
