The Dhaka Times Desk It is generally seen that most people confine themselves to the house after the age of 80. If the event of a 104-year-old man floating in the sky seems unreal, it actually happened!
Dorothy Hafner (104) explained on October 1 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, that age is not an issue. This information was obtained from a report of the American news agency AP.
Dorothy usually walks with a walker. However, this is not the first time he is doing a skydive (jumping from the sky). Even at the age of 100, he did sky driving for the first time. This time after completing the sky drive in just 7 minutes and touching the ground in Chicago, everyone rushed to greet him. Dorothy says, 'Age is just a number.'
Earlier in May last year, Sweden's 103-year-old Ingegard Larsson entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest person to skydive. Now the Sky Drive in Chicago is trying to get Dorothy's name in the Guinness World Records.
Dorothy left her walker behind that day and boarded the small plane Sky Van. There he also prepared for sky driving. Everyone present with him gave him a lot of encouragement this time. This time he was accompanied by an instructor certified by the United States Parachute Association. They both jumped from 3,500 feet (4,100 meters).
But Dorothy will not stop there. He is turning 105 next December. He plans to take on new challenges. He said, 'This time I want to ride a hot air balloon, I have never rode this balloon before.'

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
