brazil has seen the highest amout of cases of dengue fever in 2003---250,000........spread by mosquitos bites. and has also seen a high number of hepatitis a ( caused by poor kitchen hygiene--cross contaminating there food ) so watch were u eat or u may be paying 4 it all night. to avoid it cook your own food.

Isn't AIDS spreading like wildfire down there, too ?!
Can't remember where I heard that, but I wonder what steps the government is taking to control these diseases.

I had dengue fever when I was traveling in Guyana and it was nasty, make sure you sleep with a mosquito net at night and you will probally be safe though.

I figure if girls can enhance thier chests with silicon, guys should be able too! Be a lot quicker to get pecs that way, than having to work out the chest muscles!
