The Dhaka Times Desk The same soap that you are holding from outside or with dusty, dirty hands, you are using the same soap while taking a bath. This can spread pathogens from the soap?
Things like toothbrushes, bath towels and hair combs are kept separate to maintain cleanliness. However, the soap in the bathroom is the same for everyone. Everyone in the family uses the same soap when entering the bathroom. Everyone is using the same soap that comes from outside or with dusty, dirty hands, the same soap is also used during the bath. In such a practice, viruses, bacteria from soap can spread to all members of the family?
Although a long time ago. In that 2006 study in the 'Indian Journal of Dental Research', it was said that at least 5 types of viruses can exist in the upper layer of soap. In 2015, the organization named 'American Journal of Infection Control' conducted a study on the same issue. About 62 percent of the bar soap used in a hospital contains various types of pathogens, the researchers said. The researchers also indicated that the bacteria can spread to the human body if this infected soap is used.
But the surprising thing is that despite being full of germs or bacteria, soap is safe in terms of spreading disease, but it has been proven in research. The researchers reported that although bacteria were found on the bar soap, they did not notice any physical complications from it. However, researchers have also suggested that exceptions may occur in the future.
The best way to get rid of the problem is to use liquid soap. There is even a 'dispenser' that does not touch the bottle that usually contains liquid soap. If possible, such a 'dispenser' can be used. On the other hand, the researchers have also suggested that water does not accumulate in the used wet bar soap storage area. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.

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
