And as the spring travel season begins, popular destinations such as Virgin Island, Puerto Rico, and Mexico have already suffered a high transmission of the disease this year, with 20,000 cases.
The disease causes infected mosquitoes to spread when people bite and in most cases heat, headaches and rashes.
In severe cases, the disease is caused by dengue heat shock syndrome, which can cause severe bleeding from the back of the eyes, gums, or skin.
It is rare to turn into a severe disease, but one out of 100 patients cannot survive. If someone is not treated, it will increase to 20 %.

Experts say that the number of dengue fever is increasing due to the El Niño phenomenon. This leads to more rainfall and longer mosquito breeding seasons due to the abnormally hot sea level temperature.
Climate change, which leads to a warmer weather, is also thought to lead to an increase in the case and to spread mosquitoes to a new region.
