You must tell about some symptoms not only to the elders but also to the children so that if they have any such problem, they do not engage in the game and tell their problem to you. But the way of telling all this to the children should be such that children should not be afraid but become aware.
Why does dengue happen?
- Dengue fever is caused by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes. These mosquitoes have black and white stripes on their body. That’s why some people call these mosquitoes colloquially as tiger mosquitoes. Teach children the identity of these mosquitoes.
- Dengue mosquito always breeds in clean water. That is, adult mosquitoes of dengue lay eggs in water that is clean and filled for several days. For example, in pots, coolers, tires placed on the roof or empty pots etc. Therefore, make the children aware that if water is seen in any such place, inform you.
- Dengue mosquitoes bite mostly during the day and gardens, balconies, parks are the major places where these mosquitoes are most susceptible to bites. Therefore, while visiting or sitting in such places, definitely use mosquito repellents. For example, any cream, lotion, spray on clothes, etc.
- Mosquitoes do not enter the house even after smoking camphor in the house in the evening. Now you must be thinking that when mosquitoes bite during the day, then why smoke in the evening? So we are telling this because mosquitoes from open places enter the houses only in the evening. If you burn incense in a Havan cup containing guggul and put camphor in it and smoke it in the evening, then the atmosphere of the house will also be pure and mosquitoes will not come.
