Knocking down the carriers of dengue

Dengue is a disease we should take precautions against all throughout the year, but during the rainy season it becomes more widespread. Raising our standards for safety is imperative to keep our family safe from dangerous dengue-carrying mosquitoes.

The prevalence of mosquitoes during these months can bring a higher possibility of getting infected with dengue more than once. Unknown to many, having a history of contracting it multiple times gives you a higher risk of getting a deadlier form of the disease.

Dengue vs. Severe Dengue

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 1 in 20 patients may develop life-threatening severe dengue which is characterized by vomiting, a bleeding nose or gums, restlessness, blood in the stool, or belly pain.

Most people with mild or asymptomatic dengue may get well in 1-2 weeks. Severe dengue, on the other hand, can be fatal. This is why we should eliminate dengue-carrying mosquitoes with urgency.

Mosquito-proof your home and community

Whether it’s from summer pools or rain-made puddles, water remaining stagnant in and around our homes can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Getting rid of stagnant water is a measure we should carry out every season.

The CDC says mosquito eggs survive for up to eight months even when dried out. They stick to the walls of containers above the waterline when they are laid. When water becomes present, they can still hatch and grow into mosquitoes. A simple extra step to help eliminate mosquitoes is scrubbing containers clean to remove the eggs completely.
