🛡️ Stay Safe: Easy Tips to Beat Dengue! 🏠
1. Eliminate Standing Water 💧
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Check your surroundings for any water collected in buckets, flower pots, or coolers. Empty and clean them regularly.
2. Use Mosquito Repellents 🧴
Apply mosquito repellents containing DEET or lemon eucalyptus oil on exposed skin. Reapply as directed, especially during peak mosquito hours.
3. Wear Protective Clothing 👕
Opt for long-sleeved shirts and full-length pants to minimize skin exposure. Light-colored clothing is preferable as mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors.
4. Use Mosquito Nets 🛏️
Sleep under mosquito nets, especially if you don't have screened windows or doors. This is crucial for infants and young children.
5. Stay Indoors During Peak Hours 🕓
Aedes mosquitoes are most active during early morning and late afternoon. Try to stay indoors during these times. 1

🧠 MediaFx's Take: Time for Collective Action! ✊
Dengue isn't just a health issue; it's a reflection of our societal structures. The working class often bears the brunt due to inadequate housing and sanitation. It's high time for systemic changes:
Improve Sanitation Infrastructure: Ensure proper waste disposal and drainage systems in all areas.
Community Engagement: Encourage local communities to participate in cleanliness drives and awareness
Government Accountability: Hold authorities responsible for timely fogging and sanitation measures.
Remember, the fight against dengue is not just individual but collective. Let's unite for a healthier, equitable society!
