As the monsoon clouds gather, so does the worry about dengue fever. It’s that time of year when mosquitoes seem to multiply overnight, and the last thing any parent wants is to see their child fall sick. With busy schedules, school runs, and work stress, it’s easy to overlook preventive measures. So, how can we effectively protect our families from dengue this season? Here are some practical steps you can take: Quick Checklist for Dengue Prevention: - Clear Stagnant Water: Regularly check for and eliminate any standing water around your home – flower pots, old tires, and buckets are prime spots for mosquito breeding. - Use Mosquito Nets: Ensure your family sleeps under mosquito nets, especially for young children and infants. - Insect Repellents: Apply mosquito repellent on exposed skin, especially during early morning and evening when mosquitoes are most active. - Wear Protective Clothing: Dress your family in long-sleeved shirts and long pants to minimize skin exposure. - Screens and Barriers: Install window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out. If possible, keep doors and windows closed during peak mosquito hours. - Maintain Cleanliness: Keep your surroundings clean and free
