Beware of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
Hi Steemian how are you? Hopefully always healthy and creative work.
This November has entered the rainy season. During this rainy season we still have to be alert to various problems in our lives. In addition to the possibility of flooding, we must also guard against dengue fever. Diseases carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito can be a serious problem and can even become epidemics and extraordinary events. I still remember last year many hospitals were overwhelmed by the number of dengue fever patients.
Female mosquitoes from and tropical diseases
Diseases caused by this virus are most common in the tropics and sub-tropics. For countries around the equator to a 23.5-degree ambient flow this certainly requires serious attention. Because do not cause casualties because it can not save dengue patients.
The virus carried by female mosquitoes will come during the rainy season until the middle of the rainy season. This usually arises because mosquitoes will develop very rapidly. The need for female mosquitoes to breed makes her need the blood obtained by biting prey. If it is bitten by humans then they have spread the virus. Then humans will become a medium for the virus to multiply.
How to resolve
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is very closely related to our lifestyle. Our bad habits related to wisdom and health must begin to change. Before we get cold fever we have to try to prevent it. however, if it is already affected we can overcome either with treatment to the doctor or at home.
You can overcome dengue fever with treatment at home. You need hydration and good pain management.
Here are some things we can do to help with the dengue fever problem.
1. Get rid of mosquitoes from the room.
Room with a mosquito will increase the risk of dengue fever. You can use the air conditioner while sleeping so that the mosquitoes do not approach. If there is no air conditioner, you can use a mosquito net. So that mosquitoes do not bite us while sleeping. I do not recommend mosquito coils that are either burn, spray or electric. Although adverts for mosquito repellent products offer security, they all contain poisons that are harmful to health.
2. Avoid visits to areas with high dengue cases.
This is to prevent from contracting the blood. Because even though our environment is mosquito-free, when going to areas prone to dengue cases, it can be risky. If it can be postponed, please schedule a visit to a safe time.
3. Organize activities outside
Rearrange when you have to do outdoor activities. Being outside the room we don't know whether or not Aedes aegypti-free are certainly very risky. Avoid being outdoors in the early morning, dusk, or at night. Sleeping in the morning also risks being bitten by a mosquito Aedes aegypti. Where at that time, mosquitoes look for prey or come out of the nest.
4. Clothes closed
Covered clothes minimize the risk of mosquito bites.
Use clothes that are covered to protect your body. For example, use long-sleeved shirts, trousers, socks, and shoes when going out at night.
5. insect repellent
If outside activities are at risk from mosquitoes, it is better to use anti-mosquito lotion. Use anti-mosquito lotion to prevent dengue fever into your body by paying attention to the content of drugs that are not dangerous.
6. break the life chain of a mosquito
Exterminate mosquito dwellings around your home. Generally, mosquitoes that carry the dengue virus usually live in and around housing, breeding in standing water.
- Drain the bathtub regularly to prevent mosquitoes lay eggs. sprinkle abate powder to prevent mosquitoes.
- Close the storage of water storage because clean water would be an ideal place for mosquitoes to lay eggs.
- Bury the can or container that can be a pool of stagnant water.
7. Do fogging immediately
If there is one or two cases of dengue fever in our environment we need do fogging. We can ask health workers to carry out fogging simultaneously. Spraying fogging gas with synthetic pyrethroid substances can kill mosquitoes and insects.
Those are some of the efforts we can do to deal with dengue fever. May we all be healthy
The best defense against Dengue Fever is a strong & resilient immune system. Not everyone who gets bit by an Aedes dengue-carrying mosquito gets the disease. So we need to start there first. :)
Dengue Fever is a huge problem in Thailand not only in the rainy season, but for 9 months of every year.
