Monsoon brings much-needed relief from the summer heat—but it also creates the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, especially the Aedes aegypti mosquito that transmits dengue. As your health partner, Dr. Vijaylaxmi KP emphasizes: Prevention is always better than cure.

Here are some essential tips to help you and your family stay safe this season:

🌧️ Preventive Measures During Monsoon

 

Avoid Water Stagnation

Do not store water in open containers, as stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Regularly empty and clean items like flower vases, water coolers, and buckets.

Declutter Your Surroundings

Discard coconut shells, broken containers, unused tyres, and any items that can collect rainwater.

Clean your surroundings regularly to avoid mosquito habitats.

Use Protection Against Mosquito Bites

Sleep under mosquito nets, especially during daytime naps.

Apply mosquito repellents on exposed skin and use mesh screens on doors and windows.

Wear Protective Clothing

The dengue mosquito is a daytime feeder. If you're stepping out during the day—especially for trekking or outdoor activities—wear full-sleeved shirts and full-length pants to reduce skin exposure.

Stay Alert, Stay Informed

Early symptoms of dengue include fever, headache, body aches, and skin rashes. Don’t ignore them—consult your physician promptly.
