    Ask your Dr. about it.
  • I would ask your Dr. I believe there are starting to be outbreaks in the US at this point (NY?). Ive heard a ton of people cancelling trips to mexico, but dont know much about it.

  • I love Mexico so I am shocked to say I think I wouldnt go.

    But the risk, even low, is a really, really bad one.

  • 1. If you haven't heard of it you've been living under a rock.
    2. Ask your doc. If it was me, I don't think I'd go, but you'll probably be fine. Chances are, it's going to get worse here before it gets better anyway, so I'm not sure there's really any difference.

  • I believe it has been told that people should not go to Mexico unless they "have" to.    Someone posted yesterday that it was reported that pregnant women should avoid trips there, and I know many doctors are trumping vacation plans for their patients. 

    Essentially it is your choice.

  • It's not just in Mexico City.  The students that were affected in NYC had been in Cancun.

    She is right.  They are no longer saying it is just within Mexico City.  There have been cases in Cancun which is the major area to go to or fly into when going to the resorts in Mexico.

    But I would definitely talk to your dr.  It is pretty serious down there as of right now and it is not just contained to mexico city.  The baja peninsula has people affected as well as other parts of Mexico.  The kids that got sick in NYC went to Cancun over spring break.

  • The swine flu is not spread out in Mex just like it is not spread out here. I would still ask your Dr. though. I have alot of family in Mex and they were saying it's only in some areas of the country.
  • Puerto Vallarta is very touristy... but still.  I wouldn't go.  Because I would just worry the whole time.
