Is dengue fever transmittable?
My neighbor just got diagnosed with dengue and I was helping her out. Now I'm a bit worried if I can catch it from her just by being around. Is dengue fever something that can spread from person to person?

Yes, it is transmittable, but not from person to person directly. An infected mosquito bites someone, then that mosquito bites another person, and that's how it spreads. So the vector is the mosquito. Keep surroundings clean.
Yes, dengue fever is transmittable, but only through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. It's not like a cold you can catch from someone. I had complications once, and it was quite serious. So, please, if you get bitten and develop symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.
Yes, it is transmittable, but through the mosquito, not directly from person to person. So keep your surroundings pure and clean, and protect yourself from mosquito bites. Stay positive and vigilant about your health.
It's transmittable, but the transmission mechanism is specific. An infected mosquito (Aedes aegypti) has to bite an infected person and then bite a healthy person. My health app often sends alerts about mosquito-borne diseases during monsoon. So, tracking mosquito activity around your area might also be helpful.
From what I was told by a doctor when my relative had it, dengue fever is transmittable, but only by mosquitoes. You can't catch it by being around an infected person. This is just my personal understanding from that experience, not medical advice.
Haan beta, it is transmittable, but only through the mosquito. It's like the mosquito takes the sickness from one person and gives it to another. So we must protect ourselves from mosquito bites, especially in the evenings. Keep the house clean and use neem oil.
Yes, it is transmittable, but only by the mosquito. Not from person to person directly. I made the mistake of thinking it wasn't that serious and didn't protect myself from mosquitoes well enough, and ended up with dengue. So please, use repellents and nets, it's very important.
Yes, it is transmittable, but in a specific way. It spreads when an infected mosquito bites someone, and then that same mosquito bites another person. So it's not like a cold you can pass on directly. Main thing is to avoid mosquito bites. My college friend just recovered, she said it was a tough one.
