Protection Outdoors
When spending time outside, especially during the day, applying a mosquito repellent cream or spray is one of the best ways to stay safe. This is particularly important for children who spend time playing outdoors.
Staying Safe Indoors
Mosquitoes can enter homes easily, which makes indoor precautions just as important. Using mosquito nets at night and applying room sprays can help reduce the risk of bites while you rest.
Eliminate Breeding Grounds
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, and the risk increases during the monsoon season. Even small amounts of collected water in pots, containers, or near drains can become breeding grounds. Regularly checking your surroundings and keeping them dry is an effective way to stop mosquitoes from multiplying.
Takeaway
There is no cure for dengue, which makes prevention essential. By combining simple protective measures repellents, nets, sprays, and eliminating stagnant water you can significantly lower your risk of infection.
