Dengue is common in tropical countries like the Philippines, especially during the rainy season. Symptoms include headaches, nausea, and joint pain. Recently, there’s been a rise in cases here, with the number of dengue cases jumping by about 40% compared to last year. 🦟
But don’t worry! The good news is that you can take simple steps to keep your family safe. Here’s how:
Eliminate Stagnant Water 💧
Mosquitoes love still water! Check empty containers, dish drains, unused flower pots, and old tires. Remove any stagnant water and keep these areas dry to prevent mosquitoes from multiplying.
Wear Long-sleeved Clothing 🧥👖
Wearing loose, long-sleeved clothing is an effective way to protect yourself from mosquito bites. Long sleeves and pants act as a physical barrier, and choosing loose-fitting clothes makes it even harder for mosquitoes to reach your skin.
Use Insect Repellents 🦟🐞🪳🐛
Mosquito repellents mask scents like carbon dioxide and body odor, which attract mosquitoes. Look for ones with DEET or picaridin for extra protection. Applied to skin and clothing, repellents create a shield that helps prevent bites and reduces the risk of diseases like dengue. 🛡️
Keep Your Home Clean and Clutter-Free 🏡
A clean home helps prevent dengue by eliminating places where mosquitoes can thrive. Regular cleaning removes hidden mosquito eggs, while decluttering takes away their hiding spots.
Use Mosquito Traps or Zappers 🦟⚡
Lastly, set up mosquito traps or electric zappers around your home or yard to help reduce the mosquito population and prevent bites. These tools lure and eliminate mosquitoes. Less buzzing = fewer bites! 🦟
