minus-squarethepiguy@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoBroken bones? How is that a symptom?!?
minus-squareathos77@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoI suspect it’s a translation issue. @noisefree linked in another, less sensational article that says this is dengue fever. And the old name for dengue fever was “break-bone fever”, because of the massive amount of bone and joint pain it caused.
minus-squarethepiguy@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoOh thank you. That is much less terrifying.
minus-squarenoisefree@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI think it’s probably “bone pain” scrambled in translation, since it’s a dengue fever outbreak.
