Prevention of Dengue virus.
Prevention of dengue includes measures to control the mosquito that transmits the virus, as well as steps to protect oneself from mosquito bites. Some ways to prevent dengue include:
1. Using mosquito repellents on exposed skin and wearing protective clothing, especially during peak mosquito biting hours (dawn and dusk)
2. Using air conditioning or screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of living spaces
3. Eliminating sources of standing water, such as flower pots or trash, where mosquitoes can breed
4. Supporting community-wide efforts to reduce mosquito populations, such as using pesticides and releasing genetically modified mosquitoes
5. getting Vaccinated if eligible
It's also important to take care of yourself and stay healthy during a dengue outbreak by getting plenty of rest, drinking fluids to prevent dehydration, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers (such as acetaminophen) to reduce fever and pain.
