Where there is more crowding, there is naturally more disease transmission. A lot of people commute to the general gym. And so there is a high risk of disease spreading from one body to another. In addition, if the cleanliness of the gym or its equipment is not maintained, the disease may increase more.
Impetigo
Impetigo is a bacterial infection of the skin. It first appears as a small red spot on the skin. Then from there it spreads throughout the body. This disease is usually spread from one person to another.
Ringworm
Ringworm is a fungal infection that spreads from one person's body to another. The skin may also become red. Can also cause irritation.
Folliculitis
A type of bacterial infection like acne on the skin is usually called folliculitis. As it itches, it spreads to different parts of the body. Eliminating these folliculitis becomes quite difficult in some cases. Scars can also last a lifetime.
Influenza
Influenza is highly contagious. Many people exercise together in the gym. That is why it is not understood who has what disease in his body. This influenza disease can quickly enter from one person's body to another person's body through sweat, sneeze, cough or breath.
Athlete's foot
Regular gym goers are very familiar with this athlete's foot condition. When this fungal disease occurs, there is a burning sensation on the soles of the feet. And then if you repeatedly touch your feet, the infection from the feet can spread to other parts of the body through the hands. So you have to be careful from these diseases.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
