Dengue Alert: Protect Yourself and Your Family

As we continue our commitment to your health and wellness, we want to bring an important issue to your attention. Recently, there has been a noticeable spike in dengue cases in our area. Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that can lead to severe health complications if not managed properly. Your safety is our priority, and we urge you to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Understanding Dengue

Dengue fever is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, which typically bites during the early morning and evening hours. The symptoms of dengue can range from mild to severe and often include high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding.

Prevention Tips

1. Eliminate Breeding Grounds: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Make sure to regularly empty and clean containers that can collect water, such as buckets, flowerpots, and tires.

2. Use Mosquito Repellents: Apply mosquito repellent to exposed skin, especially during peak biting times. Products containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus are effective.

3. Wear Protective Clothing: When outdoors, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and shoes to minimize skin exposure.

4. Install Screens: Ensure that windows and doors are properly screened to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Consider using mosquito nets while sleeping.

5. Use Mosquito Coils and Vaporizers: These can help reduce mosquito presence indoors, especially in the evening.

6. Keep Your Environment Clean: Regularly clean and maintain your surroundings to reduce mosquito breeding sites.

Stay Informed

It's crucial to stay updated with local health advisories and follow any specific instructions from health authorities. If you or anyone in your family experiences symptoms of dengue, seek medical attention promptly.
