  • Symptoms of Dengue:

    • Avoid Mosquito Bites: Use mosquito nets and repellents. Wear long-sleeved clothing and stay indoors during peak mosquito activity hours (early morning and dusk).

    • Eliminate Breeding Grounds: Ensure there is no standing water in or around your home, as mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Empty and clean water containers, and use insecticides where necessary.
