Ecologist Rosie Moore, known as the world’s most beautiful scientist, showed her Instagram followers the symptoms she experienced after contracting a disease from a mosquito during her recent trip to South America.
Moore reported contracting dengue, a viral infection transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The world’s most beautiful scientist, known for her videos with dangerous predators, contracted the disease while traveling to Suriname in South America.
In the video shared on Instagram, Moore displayed red spots on her abdomen and ribs. Dengue can cause symptoms such as severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, nausea, vomiting, and body rash.
“My fever was so high that I genuinely couldn’t get out of bed, and I was trying to cool down in every possible way,” Moore recounted. The World Health Organization reports that dengue is very common in tropical areas.
Moore’s followers shared their experiences with dengue. “When I take a hot shower, the scars from the dengue rash still show up on my feet. Strange disease,” said one. Another reported losing hair due to the dengue virus.
