# While buying vegetables, check whether the vegetables are fresh or not. Buy that vegetable only if it looks fresh and fresh. Don't forget to buy the greens if they are spoiled or turn yellow. If necessary, you can tear the leaves of the vegetable and check it while buying.
# The first thing to do after buying vegetables from the market is to wash them well. The reason is that various chemicals are often used to improve the yield of vegetables. Improper washing and cooking can cause many other problems besides stomach upset.
# is even better if you can steam the vegetables in hot water before cooking. Washing well is not enough, there is no better way to remove bacteria and germs from vegetables.
# If not cooking immediately, it is important to wash and dry the vegetables after draining the water. If left in a wet state, new bacteria can build a nest on that plant. If you don't want it, you have to keep the vegetables dry.
Another way to sterilize # vegetables is to submerge them briefly in ice water. If kept in ice water for five minutes, the green leaves will be fresh. The green color and freshness of the vegetables will also remain intact - the quality will also be fine. 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
