Ek How much of an issue is tropical disease
I thought I might post this question on this forum as EK seems to get to the most places around the world.
As I swatted a few mosquitos this morning on a return flight from a funny named but very big city in a tropical location, I was curious if there is any particular issue that you guys have/precautions taken/cases happened of pilots catching malaria/dengue/Chikungya(or whatever it is called).
I'm not talking about guys who venture into the wilds on their day off, I'm talking about getting bitten on walkarounds/in the aircraft/hotel, etc. Do most people just not worry about it and everything is fine or is it a significant issue to be concerned about.
