PEOPLE’S MIND – The last few days, rain heavily flushed a number of areas in Indonesia and caused flood.
Floods can cause a number of disease serious that should not be taken lightly.
Quoted Pikiran-Rakyat.com from the Ministry of Health website on July 16, 2022, here are 7 disease which often occurs during the rainy season and after flood.
1. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF)
Increased breeding places for Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes, which are transmitting mosquitoes disease Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) occurs during the monsoon season rain.
This is because during the season rain a lot of garbage such as used cans, used tires, and certain places filled with water and puddles occurred for some time.
Stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Increasing the population of mosquitoes as transmitters diseasethe risk of transmission also increases.
For this reason, the community is expected to actively participate through the 3M movement, namely burying used cans, draining water reservoirs regularly, and closing water storage areas tightly.
If there are family members who experience symptoms of high fever for which there is no clear reason accompanied by signs of bleeding, they must be rushed to the hospital immediately to get proper treatment.
