How to use it
ไข้เลือดออกkâi-lûeat-àwk is literally "fever with bleeding". Dengue is spread by mosquitoes that bite in the daytime, and cases rise in the rainy season, so Thais take ยากันยุงyaa-gan-yung, mosquito repellent, seriously. A high fever with body aches and pain behind the eyes is a reason to see a doctor.
