Preventive measures against dengue

These mosquitoes breed in private/public plots around the house, water bodies, water tanks and storage vessels like, Kerba, Matla, Bucket, Hoses etc. Do not keep such water storage devices open, cover them with air or tie them with cloth, filter the water kept for animals and birds from one vessel to another every third day to destroy the lumps formed and wipe the bottom. Use large water hoses to wash the vessels and destroy the eggs of mosquitoes and it is mandatory to bring whole carnivorous fish from the health centre into the tank.

Why is dengue considered serious?

This disease is caused by the bite of an infectious female mosquito. Which eats white blood cells. Due to the decrease in white blood cells in the human body, the skin of the human body starts bleeding and the person may even die. In such a situation, the health department in the district is working to make people aware to avoid dengue disease and drive them away.
