#HealthBytes: Simple hacks to avoid dengue by preventing mosquito bites

It's monsoon season and the risk of getting mosquito bite-induced infections and diseases like Dengue is at an all-time high. However, the good news is, with simple prevention and hygiene promoting practices, the risk of catching Dengue fever can be done away with. Here are some top tips to protect yourself from Dengue this monsoon season.

Tip set 1
Brush up the basics about keeping mosquitoes away from you

Turn empty pots and buckets upside down, so as to prevent excess water to accumulate and stagnate. In case emptying isn't possible, make sure to cover them well. Apply mosquito repellent creams and lotions on exposed regions of your body all day and night to avoid getting bitten. Block any unnecessary openings and holes in your windows and door screens.

Tip Set 2
More on how to keep your surroundings clean

Always use a mosquito net while sleeping, to minimize the risk of getting bitten. Regularly empty any standing water in your cooler, and always use clean, fresh water to refill. Do this even if the cooler is not in use. Keep your dustbins, or any other trash containers well covered to stay safe.

Tip Set 3
Natural, easy ways to keep mosquitoes away

A natural way to keep mosquitoes away is to grow a tulsi plant near your windows, as it helps avoid mosquitoes from breeding. Tulsi apart, another great way to naturally protect yourself from catching dengue fever is, by lighting camphor in your bedroom, and keep it that way for a good 15-20 minutes. To conclude, stay safe, and enjoy the monsoons.
