REMEDIES AND MEASURES TO SAFEGUARD FROM DENGUE AND ITS TREATMENT
Dengue has been a very dangerous and harmful ailment and in recent times it has gained immense proportions. It can also be fatal at times. It spreads rapidly during winters and rainy seasons. Also during times of changing weather it is more prevalent. The changing temperatures promote growth of the Dengue virus which is carried around by the mosquitoes.
As mosquitoes are responsible for its growth, the best prevention is to stop their rampant growth and destroy the breeding spots of mosquitoes. One should keep his /her surroundings clean and let not water stagnate at any place like water coolers ,buckets etc ;one should keep changing the water frequently. The one and foremost prevention of Dengue is safeguarding against mosquitoes and all precautions should be taken to keep mosquitoes away.
An important point to be noted is that the mosquitoes that are the carriers of the Dengue virus are not the regular type of mosquitoes. It is a mosquito of a different strand , its sting spreads the virus rampantly in the body within 3-4 days ; sometimes it takes around 10 days for the virus to spread. Those who are physically weak and have lower body resistance are more susceptible to the dengue virus. Dengue can affect both young [children] and adult s .although its spread is more prevalent in children. The dengue spreading mosquitoes, AEDES, is active during the daytime, so we must take all precautions even during the day against mosquitoes bites.
