Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It leads to high fever, severe body pain, rashes, and in some cases, serious complications.
Dengue spreads through the bite of infected mosquitoes, especially during the monsoon. Stagnant water is the primary breeding ground for these mosquitoes.
These simple precautions can protect you from dengue and help keep your family safe from this potentially severe disease.
Wear full-sleeved shirts and long pants when stepping out. Light-colored clothes are better, as mosquitoes are attracted to dark shades
Empty and clean flower pots, coolers, and containers weekly. Stagnant water is the perfect breeding ground for dengue mosquitoes.
Dispose of garbage properly and clean wet areas regularly. A clean environment discourages mosquito breeding and keeps your family safe.
Use mesh screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Keep doors and windows closed during dawn and dusk hours.
Use mosquito nets, especially at night or when napping during the day. It’s a simple but effective shield against mosquito bites.
Apply mosquito repellent creams or sprays, especially on exposed skin. Choose repellents with DEET, citronella, or eucalyptus oil.
