A 98-year-old man's world record in motorcycle racing!

The Dhaka Times Desk People nearing centenarians are seen limping or lying in bed. But the surprising thing is that a 98-year-old man is riding around on a motorcycle! Recently such a person made a record in motorcycle racing. Guinness World Records gave this information.

According to a media report, the name of the 98-year-old man is Leslie Harris. He is a resident of New Zealand. He is known as the world's oldest motorcycle racer in the male category. Guinness World Records officially announced his recognition last Wednesday (September 13). The competition started on February 5.

The Guinness World Records Authority said that Harris set this record earlier at the 43rd Classic Motorcycle Festival held in Auckland, New Zealand. He was then 97 years 344 days old. He was only 21 days away from his 98th birthday.

Even at this age, Leslie Harris was not far behind in the competition. He took the fourth place. Previously, he became the first in this competition in 2019 at the age of 93. In this competition, he uses an old model motorcycle of 177 cc, which has a speed of up to 134 km per hour.

Leslie Harris was involved in a motorcycle accident on a hill at the Classic Festival in 2020. His 6 ribs were broken when the motorcycle fell. But luckily he recovered quickly. However, the festival was suspended for the next two years due to Covid-19.

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
