But that does not mean that there will be danger by playing. Of course, many people think so. Are these three vegetables really harmful to stomach health? Find out today.
potatoes
Potatoes contain solanine. If these chemicals enter the body, there is a risk of infection. This is not wrong. Solanine is especially responsible for stomach infections. Due to which problems like diarrhea, vomiting can also start. Many people believe that only potatoes contain solanine. This idea is completely wrong. Potatoes that are white and have a greenish tint in some places usually contain a chemical called solanine. Which can lead to deadly diseases like cancer. To avoid that risk, it is best not to eat potatoes with such characteristics. Before buying potatoes, check whether they have a green tinge and whistle. If so, don't buy that potato.
eggplant
Ripe eggplant usually contains solanine. But its amount is very less. This solanine level further decreases after cooking. The normal amount of solanine in eggplant is mostly destroyed after boiling or frying. Therefore, eating brinjal after cooking does not pose any risk of illness.
tomato
Tomatine in tomatoes can cause digestive upset. So many do not eat tomatoes to avoid the risk of stomach upset. But many may not know that the amount of chemical component called tomatine in tomatoes is very low. This amount of tomatine in the body will not cause any problem. Rather, the vitamin C and potassium in tomatoes take care of the body. 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
