a viral disease you get from a bite from an insect only in tropical areas im pretty sure. correct me if im wrong
Dengue fever (pronounced UK: /ˈdɛŋɡeɪ/, US: /ˈdɛŋɡiː/) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are acute febrile diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, which occur in the tropics, can be life-threatening, and are caused by four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae.[1] It was identified and named in 1779. It is also known as breakbone fever, since it can be extremely painful. Unlike malaria, dengue is just as prevalent in the urban districts of its range as in rural areas. Each serotype is sufficiently different that there is no cross-protection and epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) can occur. Dengue is transmitted to humans by the Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti or more rarely the Aedes albopictus mosquito. The mosquitoes that spread dengue usually bite at dusk and dawn but may bite at any time during the day, especially indoors, in shady areas, or when the weather is cloudy.[2]
holy s h i t 32 years old. he was just a pup. this is sad man. he lived a good, but very short life with all his travels, and success. i actually liked this guy a lot. he will be missed. rest in peace.
Just goes to show how crazy life is...your out riding huge barrels and a damn mosquito bite kills you...sad, sad day for surfing indeed. He will be missed. R.I.P. Andy
Stuff like this makes you realize that anyone can go at anytime without a moments notice...he was an amazing surfer and seemed like an awesome dude as well, may he RIP
The asp world tour website is really slow but the family just released a statement if you guys are interested.... http://www.aspworldtour.com/2010/11/03/world-champion-andy-irons-passes-away and i agree live life to the fullest, and appreciate every one of the chocolaty east coast barrels
andy was such a cool guy when he was on billabongs still filthy movie premier. as i was a billabong presents filthy habits shirt to the movie premier he signed and the other stuff i had and we talked and gave each other a high five and he was such a cool guy. defiently sad to see some one of his skill to die like this.
he says a LOT of things in that video that i identify w/...perhaps a little too much. this has really shaken me up. i am def. a better person when i come in from a surf, no matter what it was like. i've battled my share of inner demons & surfing played a big part in dealing w/ that. i really hope the rumors of a methadone OD prove false. thank god it looks like there's some surf on the way...i REALLY need to get wet right now.
