The recent hot weather

Not only "inflammation value off the charts"

From time to time, I was caught by heavy rain.

……

At night

Mosquitoes are even more arrogant.

There is a "human-mosquito war" every night.

June-October is the high epidemic season of dengue fever every year. With the increase of temperature and rainfall, Aedes albopictus has entered an active period, and the risk of dengue fever has increased. Dengue fever will not only affect the blood, nerves, circulation and other systems, but also cause liver function damage, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Dengue fever "resume"

Dengue fever is an acute insect-borne infectious disease caused by dengue virus and spread through the bite of Aedes vector.

The main symptoms are sudden high fever, "three pains" (headache, orbital pain, muscle and joint pain all over the body), "three redness" (flushing on face, neck and chest), rash (congestive rash or spotty bleeding rash on limbs, trunk or head and face) and so on.

In general, most people have mild or asymptomatic symptoms after being infected with dengue fever, but a few patients will develop into severe diseases.

The incubation period is generally 1-14 days, mostly 5-9 days.

People of all ages are generally susceptible.

Prevention of dengue fever

It is important to prevent mosquitoes.

Remember these two hard-core tricks

Two "hardcore tricks"

one

Mosquito control

Partition: Wear light-colored long-sleeved clothes and trousers when going out.

Repellent: Apply mosquito repellent to exposed skin and clothes.

Avoid: Avoid staying in outdoor shady places such as tree shade, grass, gazebo, etc. during the frequent mosquito infestation periods (7-9 am and 4-6 pm).

Installation: Install screen doors and screens and use mosquito nets at home.

Extinction: timely use mosquito-repellent incense, electric mosquito swatter and insecticidal spray to repel mosquitoes.

Change: raise aquatic plants indoors, have fish tanks, etc., and stock mosquito-eating fish in water tanks at the right time. During the epidemic of dengue fever, aquatic plants should be avoided indoors. If it is necessary, it is suggested to plant them in sand instead.

2

Clean up stagnant water

Sealing: seal the water containers such as water tanks and water tanks.

Fill: Fill potholes, waste ponds, ditches, bamboo holes, tree holes, etc.

Dredging: dredge ditches, silt and weeds on the shore, etc.

Drainage: Drain the accumulated water that may breed mosquitoes, including the accumulated water in front of and behind houses, gardens/balconies/rooftops, pools/hydroponic plants, trays/flowerpots of drinking fountains, bamboo tubes/tree holes/tires, construction sites and green belts.

Clear: all kinds of idle pots and cans, beverage cans, food boxes, glass bottles and other discarded containers should be removed in time, discarded or overturned.

Special reminder

The symptoms of dengue fever are similar to those of colds and flu. Pay attention to the following three differences:

1. The fever caused by dengue fever is generally "high fever", and the body temperature can often reach 39℃ or even 40℃.

2. In addition to fever, patients with dengue fever are often accompanied by bone pain, headache, muscle pain, rash, bleeding spots, and some patients may also have gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and stomachache.

Besides fever, the symptoms caused by cold are often accompanied by symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and cough.
