taxi fare, mosquitoes

2nd. Is mosquito repellent necessary? I've been hearing about dengue fever?! however I am a long time visitor to Zihua (40 plus years) and have never had a problem with bites...the hotel sprays regularly and the bats on their rounds at dusk seem to help. but of course the climate has changed so if anyone has advice your input is appreciated.

I have had homeowner’s insurance and car insurance for 40 years and “never had a problem”.

I know two people who have had dengue and one who has had malaria. I don’t want to have either of those problems.

I will continue to buy home insurance, buy car insurance, and use mosquito repellent “insurance.
