Time to treat dengue fever Most did not stay in the hospital at all, 80% returned to receive treatment at home. and did not apply mosquito repellent to sick people Even though the old mosquitoes had already been sprayed. But if we assume that there are larvae that become new mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected person, treat it at home. There is a chance of biting other people and spreading the disease. At the end of 2023, we started a campaign to use mosquito repellent. Just like we campaigned The matter of protecting yourself against mites When to travel during the winter and often sleeps in a tent Which young mites can cause typhoid fever. If you go to bed and apply these mosquito repellents, you will prevent these insects from biting.
