Loneliness is one of the companions in human life. Even if you keep yourself busy all day with a mountain of work, at the end of the day, loneliness consumes you. Some are voluntarily alone, some are forced to be alone. But in all cases, loneliness is increasing by leaps and bounds. This boredom of being alone is not only a stress on the mind. It affects the body in many ways. Recently, a study by "Who" said that people's loneliness is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day!
This information was published in a report called 'Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation' by the World Health Organization. The statistics of 'Who' says that since the covid, loneliness seems to be sitting in people's lives. Lockdown during epidemics, isolation due to covid, social distancing rules, etc. have become a part of people's life. Then the covid went away. But loneliness remains. The risk of various diseases like heart disease, dementia, high blood pressure, obesity is increasing from this fatigue of being alone.
As time goes by, this problem is slowly becoming an epidemic. World Health Organization researchers think so. So you have to rush to have time. Loneliness should never be allowed to sit on the mind. For this reason, the World Health Organization is repeatedly reminding us to take care of ourselves. Many people have forgotten to love themselves in the pressure of work, personal complications and taking care of others. And loneliness is born from there. You have to find the way to keep yourself good even in single life.
The health organization has given the opinion that keeping oneself well and increasing social interaction should also be done. The covid-thorn is no more. Because of this, the World Health Organization also believes that public relations should be emphasized while keeping oneself protected as much as possible. Loneliness can increase the risk of dying at an early age. The World Health Organization also recommends taking care of the mind to avoid that risk. Source: Anandabazar Online.

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
