Respected Sir,
SUB: Impending the spread of Water-borne diseases
Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities and common masses towards, As a responsible citizen, I’d like to create awareness about the sudden spurt in the water-borne diseases among the public through this letter.
‘Summer’ may be a delightful word for the English poets but it is a horrible word for Indians. With the onset of summer, there is a sudden spurt of water-borne diseases like cholera, dysentery, etc and full of causitive agents like mosquitoes and flies. Water, during summer, is not only dirty but highly polluted also. Many times sewerage water also gets mixed with freshwater causing the fear of breaking out of the dangerous diseases.
"PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE"
It is always better to prevent these than to cure later for we lose so much energy when affected. Since unclean water contains a lot of bacteria and germs, we should avoid drinking it. It is better to boil the water we drink. As for food items, we should always keep them covered. It is always preferable if we eat freshly cooked food as it takes 4 to 6 hours to infect the food. Whenever we eat or cook food, we should wash our hands thoroughly with soap.
If in spite of precautions, we get any disease through contaminated water, we must get treatment. High fever, restlessness and blood in stool are the symptoms of these diseases. If we have these, we should rush to the doctor immediately.
The civic authorities must also provide necessary awareness to people and arrange some precautions to prevent the spread of Water-borne diseases by spraying disinfectant In contaminated and stagnant water bodies.
Thanking you
Your Faithfully,
Varun.
