Dengue Precautions: The rainy season also brings with it the possibility of many diseases and infections, some of which are very serious and if not treated in time, a person can die. One of these serious diseases is dengue, which can be fatal if left untreated. It spreads through mosquitoes, so one needs to be careful about the environment around him.
However, some people adopt the opposite habit of caution and remain alert outside, but become careless as soon as they come home. This is where the risk of getting dengue starts increasing. Dengue mosquitoes are also present inside the house, on whose bites people take them lightly. That's why we are going to tell you about some such tips, by adopting which you can keep yourself safe from dengue everywhere.
What to do to prevent dengue in monsoon?
1. Do not allow water to stagnate
Mosquitoes thrive in stagnant water, so remove water from any areas where dengue mosquitoes may breed. Apart from this, take care of such things around you, in which water can accumulate, such as old tires, flower pots, or containers. Keep them empty to prevent water accumulation.
2. Apply mosquito repellent
To keep mosquitoes away, apply mosquito repellent cream, lotion or spray to exposed skin. Also choose products that contain DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus as active ingredients, as they are most effective at repelling mosquitoes.
3. Screen your windows and doors
Be it office or home, put such screens on doors and windows, which can prevent mosquitoes from coming inside. Jali can also be used on windows and doors so that an adequate amount of air and light can come in and entry of mosquitoes can also be banned.
4. Wear protective clothing
If you spend most of your time outside, especially in the morning and evening, wear long-sleeved shirts, tops, full pants, and socks during this time as dengue mosquitoes are more active.
5. Go to the doctor
If you are experiencing persistent fever, severe headache, or any other symptoms associated with dengue during the monsoon season, visit a doctor immediately. The sooner the treatment is received, the sooner it will help in stopping this disease.
