Monsoon Health Risk: Monsoon not only brings with it cool showers of rain and relief from heat, but it also brings many health challenges. In this season, the humidity in the atmosphere increases, which provides a favorable environment for microorganisms to thrive. Dirty water accumulated on the roads and the rapidly increasing number of mosquitoes give rise to many invisible dangers, which can challenge our immunity.

In such a situation, it is very important to keep yourself alert in this changing weather. Let us know in this article which diseases increase the risk in monsoon, and what precautions should be taken from now to avoid these diseases.

Typhoid

Typhoid is spread due to Salmonella bacteria, which enters the body through contaminated water and food. Dirty water and unhygienic food in monsoon increase the risk of this disease. Fever, headache, and weakness are its main symptoms. Now because the monsoon is about to come, so take some precautions, like- drinking clean or filtered water. Also avoid outside food, especially cut fruits and street food.

Malaria
Malaria is spread by the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Stagnant water during rains promotes the breeding of mosquitoes. Fever, chills, and sweating are its main symptoms. To prevent this, do not allow water to accumulate around the house. Use mosquito nets. Wear full-sleeved clothes and use mosquito repellents to avoid mosquitoes.

Dengue
Dengue is caused by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes, which are generally active during the day. Its symptoms are high fever, joint pain, and skin rashes. Dengue mosquitoes can breed even in clean water during monsoon. Do not allow water to accumulate in pots, coolers, and tires. Use mosquito-repellent creams to avoid mosquitoes.

Digestive problems
Digestive problems increase during monsoon. Food stored in this season gets spoiled quickly, which can cause problems like diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach aches. Dirty water and unhygienic food cause bacterial infections. So eat fresh, homemade food. Wash raw vegetables thoroughly and cook them.
