We are all aware that June is declared as Dengue Awareness Month. Weather we like it or not these mosquitoes can be found in our environment. However, we can eliminate or totally eradicate these mosquitoes if we will make our own effort to cooperate and help our community and government.
- Dengue Fever and Dengue Haemoragic Fever are the most common mosquito borne viral disease in the world.
- If you get a second dengue infection, you can get a worse infection such as dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome which can be fatal.
- These mosquitoes have black and white stripes on its legs and body.
- They usually bite during the day.
- They lay eggs in clean, stagnant water.
We all know that this deadly mosquitoes are lurking around. We have read information about it. Sad to say that some will only do their cleaning when someone is already infected with dengue. So our government introduced this 4 o'clock habit to help eliminate these mosquitoes in our surroundings.
Congratulations to the schools and barangays who are doing this 4 o'clock habit. Hoping more schools and barangays will implement it too. If everybody will cooperate and do their own share starting from your own homes this will greatly contribute to a cleaner and safer environment.
How about you, do you have something to add or to share with us? Share with us your insights, experience on dengue fever?
