Island fever, or rock fever as the locals call it, refers to the feeling of being stuck on an island and longing to get off it.!!!  Can you imagine how frustrating it is to drive for two hours and end up in the same spot you left. It's small. surrounded by water..   NOT like the states, where you can jump in your car and end up in a nother country!  That is what island fever is,.. trust me, I know. I am a local Hawaiian girl ;)

Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are acute febrile diseases, found in the tropics, with a geographical spread similar to malaria. Caused by one of four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, 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 mosquito Aedes aegypti (rarely Aedes albopictus).

i live in hawaii as well as i'm from florida where both places have so much staph. you only get staph from open sores that become infected, puss like stuff will be coming out and no it doesn't itch. hurts like hell all the way to the bone. i spent a week last year in the hospital due to staph which is not something to mess with. your child sounds as if they have a rash of some sort. go see a different doctor.

I moved to Hawaii a year after high school and stayed for 12 years.  As far as weather and scenery, it is unbeatable! It's still one of my favorite vacation destinations!\n\nHawaii is probably the biggest melting pot of nationalities in the world.  The best benefit to this is the food! You can find almost anything and everything that you want! You are also exposed to people from all over the world. It's so exciting to meet people from all these exotic places.  All these different cultures make-up Hawaii as we know it today.\n\nDownside?  Most have to do with living there, not visiting.\n\nCost of living is one of the highest in the country.\n\nAloha spirit?  Yes, most of the time. They can be the friendliest people. The bad?  With all these different races, there is racial prejudism everywhere!  You can pick almost any race, and they will dislike another race for one reason or another.

When I'm desperate (I'm getting freaky frequently, I hate many things as bad food, hot or dirty places, noise, e.t.c. )I go to a quite island as Milos or Santorini(in Aegean Sea, Greece). Both are like  paradise, like  vacation's advertisement. And there is quietness (if you want) or crowds of people (if you want)  in the same small area!

The dirt that covers Hawaii is much older than Hawaii it blew in from China. The same forces covered your artifacts.

In the US it is more commonly called mononucleosis or mono. I found the following info. about that here:\n\nGlandular fever often starts with a few days of mild symptoms, including headache, and tiredness. The major symptoms then develop, and may last seven to twenty one days. They vary in how badly they affect you, but usually include a fever, sore throat, and tiredness, along with aches and pains all over the body. \n\nThis phase of the illness may last a few days to a few weeks. It is accompanied by tender enlargement of the glands (the lymph glands or lymph nodes) which are around the body to help defend against infection. \n\nA small number of people (about one in ten) develop a faint red rash on the trunk and limbs. Sometimes the liver may become inflamed (hepatitis), even to the extent of making you go yellow (jaundiced). \n\nAfter the worst of the initial symptoms have passed, most people continue to feel tired all the time, and easily exhausted. This is frequently accompanied by depression. \n\nAfter a period of weeks or months, most people return to normal.

Hot air and Cold air have to mix yes. But since Hawaii is an island the ocean provides a large area where temperatures do not change much.\nAlaska has a vast land area but most of the state is of course too cold to have the energy needed to form a tornado. Also, most of the warmer regions of Alaska are next to the ocean and thus also have no sudden temperature fluctuations.

IT could be an infection of some type. There are also diseases that cause fevers, such as lupus. Also it could be the heat. I know in the summer time I run a low grade fever, it's pretty normal for me. I did talk to a doctor about it. \n\nSeeing a doctor is advisable. ;0)

It may be possible that you have malaria.\nMalaria is caused by a parasite - plasmodium species and transmitted by mosquitoes.\n\nA malaria infection is generally characterized by recurrent attacks with the following signs and symptoms:\n~ Moderate to severe shaking chills \n~ High fever \n~ Profuse sweating as body temperature falls \n~ General feeling of unease and discomfort (malaise) \n~ Other signs and symptoms include:\nHeadache \nNausea \nVomiting \nDiarrhea \nFever\nPeople with malaria typically have cycles of chills, fever, and sweating that recur every 1, 2, or 3 days.\nAfter noting your symptoms and travel history, your doctor will likely obtain a sample (smear) of your blood for observation under a microscope. Two blood samples, taken at six- and 12- hour intervals, can usually confirm the presence of the malaria parasite and its type. It's possible to be infected by more than one plasmodium at the same time.\n\nOther infections may also cause this:\nInfluenza, Enteric (typhoid and paratyphoid) fever, Leptospirosis, Yellow fever, etc.\n\nYour doctor will take a proper history and conduct a physical exam to help properly diagnose you. He may conduct additional tests. It's a good idea to visit your doctor at the earliest. Hopefully it shouldn't be anything serious.

I'm going to take a stab and guess you are referring to "Dengue". Pronounced much like you spelled it.  Dengue hemorrhagic fever is caused by a mosquito-borne virus and is in fact the most common mosquito-borne viral disease in man.  It is not very common in the United States, but countries like Indonesia, India, and South American countries have high incident rates.  There are actually 4 viruses (all from mosquitoes) that can cause dengue.  Dengue is not an STD!\n\nI don't know what country you live in, but dengue is a reportable illness that is tracked by The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and The World Health Organization (WHO).  The test for dengue should be free, or VERY VERY inexpensive.  Doctors, and testing facilities should do nothing that would discourage anyone who suspects having contracted the illness from seeking treatment.  Depending on what country you live in, and the availability of medical treatment, I would expect having the test done would be free. If not, the cost should be minimal (less than $5).
