Why Monsoon Increases Health Risks
The monsoon season brings much-needed rain, but it also increases the risk of infections like dengue and typhoid. Dirty water, mosquitoes, and poor hygiene during this season can lead to these illnesses — especially in children and older adults.
What is Dengue?
Dengue is spread by mosquitoes, especially the Aedes mosquito, which bites during the daytime.
Common symptoms include:
• Sudden high fever
• Headache and pain behind the eyes
• Muscle and joint pain
• Skin rash
• Bleeding from gums or nose (in serious cases)
If someone shows these signs, don’t delay — get tested immediately.

What is Typhoid?
Typhoid spreads through contaminated food and water.
Watch out for:
• Gradual rise in fever
• Stomach pain
• Tiredness and weakness
• Constipation or diarrhoea
• Rash on the chest (sometimes)
Untreated typhoid can lead to serious complications. Early treatment is important.

✅ Simple Tips to Stay Safe
1. Stop Mosquito Breeding
• Empty water from pots, coolers, and containers weekly
• Use mosquito nets and repellents
2. Eat & Drink Safely
• Drink only boiled or filtered water
• Avoid roadside food during rains
• Wash fruits and vegetables properly
3. Get Vaccinated
• Typhoid vaccine is available for children and adults
• Ask your doctor if your family is due for one
4. Watch for Symptoms
If fever lasts more than 2 days, or you notice rash, weakness, or stomach pain — visit a doctor immediately.
