The Dhaka Times Desk At present dengue is one of the most discussed diseases in our country. As the patient affected by this disease becomes physically weak on the one hand, on the other hand its effect exists in the human body for a long time. Find out how to avoid dengue today.
Dengue fever is a disease caused by the dengue virus carried by the Aedes mosquito. Usually from May to September, people are more affected by dengue fever, especially during hot and rainy season. However, dengue is not a fatal disease. We can get rid of this disease very quickly if we follow proper treatment and rules.
The prevalence of dengue fever is increasing day by day. There is no escape from dengue or this disease-carrying mosquito. There are two types of dengue fever. Of these, clinical dengue is fairly tolerant, but hemorrhagic dengue or hemorrhagic fever is the most deadly. Most of the time there is no antidote available. Necessary treatment is given according to the symptoms. Like other viral fevers, it resolves on its own within seven days. However, hemorrhagic dengue fever can be severe. First of all we need to know about the amount and type of fever properly.
To save us from dengue fever, we have to follow some rules and precautions by which we can easily protect ourselves and our family from dengue.
So let's know some ways to avoid dengue and dengue mosquitoes:
Condensation prevents water drainage
Mosquitoes can breed easily in stagnant water. Rainy days increase waterlogging, thereby increasing breeding grounds for mosquitoes. So to save ourselves from mosquitoes we all have to clean the accumulated water.
Mosquito control
We can get rid of mosquitoes with various home remedies. Mild camphor, carom seeds mixed with mustard oil or ajwai etc. are effective in repelling mosquitoes. We can also kill mosquitoes in our homes with neem and lavender oil, eucalyptus oil etc.
cover the body
Hands and feet are the easiest targets for mosquito bites. So wherever you are outside the house, try to cover yourself with cloth as much as possible. We should cover our body with sufficient amount of cloth.
Keep doors and windows closed
We should keep the doors and windows of our houses closed so that mosquitoes cannot easily enter our houses. Mosquito infestation is more at the end of the day and at night. Therefore, if you keep the door and window closed at this time, mosquitoes will be less able to enter. Also, 'mosquito net' can be installed on windows and doors. Mosquitoes can enter the house even during the day. So you have to use a net on the window.
Consuming the right food
We can all take healthy 'supplements' alongside food. We all need to eat healthy food according to proper rules. By following a healthy diet, the body's immune system should be increased. If the immune system is strong, all kinds of diseases will stay away.
caution
With a little precaution, we can easily avoid dengue. Aedes mosquitoes prefer to bite usually within half an hour of sunrise and half an hour before sunset in the evening. During these two times you have to be careful of mosquito bites. Mosquito habitats should be destroyed taking care to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. Abandoned containers, open cans, discarded tires, flower pots must be drained. If you want to sleep even during the day, you should hang the mosquito net. It is better to keep a patient with dengue fever in a mosquito net. Because if these patients are bitten by a normal Aedes mosquito, there is a danger of that mosquito also becoming a carrier of dengue.
