🦟 Stay Safe This Rainy Season: Simple Tips to Prevent Dengue, Malaria & Other Mosquito-Borne Diseases 🌧️
The rainy season brings relief from the heat—but also increases the risk of diseases like Dengue, Malaria, Chikungunya, and other infections caused by mosquitoes. These illnesses can be serious, even life-threatening, if not prevented or treated in time.
Let’s take some simple steps to protect ourselves and our families during the monsoon!
🚫 Stop Mosquitoes Before They Start!
- No Stagnant Water
- Empty or cover containers like buckets, pots, tyres, coolers, and flower vases.
- Mosquitoes breed in still water—even a bottle cap full is enough!
- Use Mosquito Nets & Repellents
- Sleep under nets, especially for babies and older people.
- Apply mosquito repellent on exposed skin, especially during early mornings and evenings.
- Wear Protective Clothing
- Prefer full-sleeve shirts and long pants.
- Light-colored clothes are better—mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors.
- Keep Surroundings Clean
- Don’t let garbage pile up around your home.
- Clean drains and remove items where water can collect.
💧 Stay Healthy & Build Immunity
- Drink clean, boiled or filtered water to avoid waterborne diseases.
- Eat fresh, homemade food to keep your body strong.
- Avoid street food or uncovered items during this season.
🤒 Watch for Symptoms – Don’t Ignore!
Common Signs of Dengue & Malaria:
- High fever
- Headache
- Muscle or joint pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Skin rash (Dengue)
- Chills and shivering (Malaria)
➡️ Seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of these.
