    The skeeters aren't a problem until the rains start in May/June. Early April is superb. Key West is packed with tourists, so don't freak out and worry about stuff like dengue. Just wear a little juice on the exposed parts of your skin and enjoy your visit.

    Dengue is something to worry about. The odds of being bitten by an UNINFECTED mosquito is becoming quite small.

    The first bite of dengue our body builds up an immune system to that type of flu - the second bite, this immune system actually works with the virus. That is why it is going to take so long to find a cure.

    Take a look at the Center for Disease Control map and decide for yourself when is the best time to visit Florida. Click on the map below.
