Dengue from mosquito: Once you have dengue and the body recovers, the infection is gone and will not come back. The only way to have dengue a second time is from a new mosquito bite. Dengue is found in the tropics- so u would have to travel back there to catch it again. Be careful of the mosquitoes!!
