Any suggestion of where to watch the NCAA basketball tournament in Merida or Progreso this weekend March 20/21. We will be in Chelem and Merida furnishing our new beach house, but want to take time out to watch some games. Possibly TGIFridays or a Boston Pizza location? Any advice appreciated!

An infection disease doctor I consulted in the US two years ago when I contracted dengue recommended that I use an insect repellant in the form of a timed-release lotion. He told me that those provide protection much longer than spray insect repellants like OFF which evaporate off the skin quickly. Two brands that make a timed-release lotion are 3M Ultrathon and Sawyer. Both are available online. RE: Dengue Fever prevention.

A SEDESOL person already came to our house last week and took a thorough look throughout for sitting water and other mosquito-friendly places. He found a place we hadn't noticed where rainwater had pooled and threw a chemical into it. He was polite and pleasant and took thorough notes. What a great service! Thanks, City of Merida. The only thing we need to be aware of is the doubtlessly highly toxic nature of the chemical they use, to make sure our pets aren't affected. Re: the Dengue Fever article.
