I have already been called a troll, whatever that is, just for posting the question.

As JGF noted, you are acting like a newbie, you are asking questions for which you seem to know the answers, and provoking new discussion on old controversial topics.  And you are somewhat anonymous, having shared nothing about yourself.  Very troll-like.  As I said before, I don't mind be wrong about this but so far you have done nothing to dissuade me.

Some of these creatures have been known to eat men alive in the Philippines.

I don't see anybody else's résumé's here. What background would you like to know about me? Military, medical, legal, business?

Thanks for the definition...."Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial." Not sure what acting like a newbie is. I don't know why this topic seems to be controversial, either you think the Philippines is a safe place or you don't. There are 3 sides to every story, he says, she says, and the truth. Newbies should be made aware of 2 sides before making up their own minds. Calling somebody a troll because you don't agree with them is not helpful to anybody.

Let's get something straight here. For a start nothing is controversial in this topic as far as I can see. Nothing is hidden from newbies, every reply here is someone's opinion or experience but I'm getting sick of it. The reason the members are thinking troll in is it appears that you are pushing for arguments, your IP puts you in Manila so you obviously have Philippines experience and obviously know your way around forums for a first time poster. So what is your objective for this topic?

I think it could be time to hijack the topic, and simply number known dangers in a tropical country such as Philippines.

1. Loads of people ignore tiny scratches that later, before sun sets, turn into full infections. Clean and cover scratches immediatly. More important for people recently arrived from other climate zones, but still important for everyone.

There you have a real danger, to start with.

Continuing from MikeSwede's thought:

2.  Loads of people ignore mosquito bites because they think nothing of them in their home country and they know malaria is not common in Philippines.  They forget that Dengue is a real and deadly disease.  A real danger.
