8 Ways to Avoid Dengue Fever Are:
1. Reduce Mosquito Habitat:
The mosquitoes which breed dengue thrive in stagnant water
containing objects like tires, plastic covers, flower pots, pet's
water bowls, etc. Reducing the habitat available for these
mosquitoes (by getting rid of stagnant water to breed) can
help prevent dengue.
2. Stay in well-screened houses:
Ensure that the windows are closed properly or the door
screens do not contain any holes. This would eliminate the
chances of any mosquitoes entering the house. Mosquitoes
responsible for spreading vector-borne diseases are most
active between the time period dawn to dusk. Keep all your
windows and shutters closed during this time.
3. Use Mosquito Repellents:
Using mosquito repellents, especially in tropical areas with
high populations and crowds, can help repel mosquitoes from
biting you. Apply mosquito repellent creams on your body
when travelling to tropical destinations and even when you
are indoors. For children or infants, you can purchase
mosquito patches, mosquito bands and mosquito wipes that
are sold by reputed skincare brands in your country.
4. Wear Protective Clothing:
In order to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, one can go for
long-sleeved clothes and full pants with socks & covered
shoes. It is advisable to go for this kind of protective clothing specifically in dengue infested area.
5. Sleep Under Mosquito-net:
Sleeping under the mosquito net can provide you and your
children a double layer of protection from being bitten by
mosquitoes.
6. Do not let Water Stagnate Anywhere
Stagnant water that has not been emptied out leads to
mosquito breeding. Empty out flower pots, clean and change
water bowls of your pet, refrain from keeping any water plant
in your household, check to see if septic tanks, water pipes
are in perfect order and keep covered any vessel or drum that
is specifically used to store water.
7. Keep Your House Airy and Well-Lit
Mosquitos are commonly frequent dark and damp places. To
prevent mosquitos from entering your room or house, make
sure it is filled with sunlight.
