Great thread.
When I moved here from up north about 7 years ago I was pretty used to Mosquitoes or so I thought.
After 2 years here I started getting ill and was eventually admitted for a short time. Blood Tests revealed I was positive to "Barmah Forrest Virus"
At the time I was like, what the eff is that? Well is appears to be a mossy borne notifiable virus and is similar to "Ross River Virus" Detected in the southern state of Victoria from a place called "Barmah Forrest" and is a recent sickness.
Symptoms for me are, increased temp, aching joints, flushing of the skin and weariness. A good long sleep alleviates most of those. Hits me infrequently. And I feel the sun's heat so I tend to avoid it in summer.
That's why I hate those little suckers.
Kind regards,
Bally
