Protect Yourself from Mosquito-Borne Diseases
As the rainy season begins, so does the increased risk of mosquito-borne illnesses — particularly dengue, a serious disease that can affect people of all ages.
Mosquitoes thrive in areas with stagnant water, which becomes more common during heavy rains. That’s why taking preventive steps is more important than ever to keep your family safe and healthy.
Prevention Tips to Keep Mosquitoes Away
- Inspect Your Surroundings
Regularly check for stagnant water in clogged gutters, plant saucers, containers, old tires, and anywhere water can collect. - Use Mosquito Repellent
Apply a repellent that contains DEET or other CDC-approved ingredients when going outdoors — especially during early morning and late afternoon. - Wear Protective Clothing
Long sleeves and pants can act as a physical barrier to mosquito bites. - Secure Your Home
Install or repair window and door screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
Stay Alert, Stay Healthy
Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue can escalate quickly if not treated early. If you or your family experience symptoms such as high fever, skin rashes, body aches, or persistent headaches, seek medical attention right away.
