Monsoon Disease Due to Waterlogging: The rainy season brings relief and freshness to everyone, but this season can also give rise to some health problems. When water accumulates around the house, it not only causes trouble but can also pose a risk of many diseases. Let us know from Dr. Imran Ahmed which diseases increase the risk during such times and what are the measures to prevent them.
1. Dengue and malaria
Waterlogging during the rainy season increases the risk of diseases like dengue and malaria. These diseases are spread by mosquitoes and mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant water. If water remains stagnant around the house or in the garden, mosquitoes can breed, which increases the risk of infection of these diseases. To avoid this, it is important to regularly clean the places where water accumulates and use mosquito nets.
2. Waterborne diseases
Waterlogging during the rainy season also increases the risk of waterborne diseases like cholera, typhoid and jaundice. When water becomes dirty and bacteria and viruses start growing in it, drinking this water or coming in contact with it can spread diseases. To avoid these diseases, it is important to drink boiled water and take care of cleanliness.
3. Fungal infection
Waterlogging and excessive humidity around the house after heavy rains provide a favorable environment for fungal infections. Fungal infections such as dandruff and athlete's foot can occur especially on the skin. To avoid this problem, regular hygiene should be maintained and wet clothes should be changed immediately.
4. Breathing problems
If dirty water stays stagnant around your area for a long time, it starts emitting a strong odor, in such a situation breathing problems may occur. Therefore, you have to get rid of waterlogging as soon as possible.
