The monsoon season can be both rejuvenating and dangerous. With a sudden change in temperature and humidity, and unsanitary surroundings, diseases such as malaria, dengue, typhoid, cholera, and jaundice become more prevalent. The recent outbreak of conjunctivitis is a prime example of this. To protect ourselves and reduce the risks of these diseases, here are some preventive measures to consider:
-
Keep your surroundings clean:
Stagnant and contaminated water in our surroundings becomes a breeding ground for mosquitos. Proper waste disposal, removal of stagnant water, and regular cleaning of drains are essential for maintaining hygiene. -
Maintain personal hygiene:
Personal hygiene is crucial in preventing the spread of diseases. Regularly washing clothes, changing bed sheets, and keeping personal items sanitized are essential practices during the monsoon season. -
Protect against mosquitoes:
Using mosquito repellents and wearing full-sleeve clothes can help reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Protection against mosquitoes is key to preventing the spread of these diseases. -
Maintain a healthy diet:
A strong immune system is essential during the monsoon season. Consuming a nutritious diet can help boost immunity and protect against diseases. Avoiding street food and raw, uncooked food is recommended for safety. -
Consult a doctor:
Seeking proper medical attention is crucial if symptoms of any of these diseases arise. Regularly consulting medical professionals can ensure timely treatment and care.
