Dear Parth,
The recent news regarding the widespread dengue outbreak in Kolkata has compelled me to write to you with grave concern.
Firstly, the Dengue fever is caused by a virus which cannot be treated with antibiotics. It is treated with under Doctor's supervision.
I suggest you to follow these precautions to prevent this terrible disease —
(1) Dengue spreads through mosquito bites. To stop the transmission from one patient to other individual, it is necessary to use mosquito nets at night
(2) Mosquito eradication is necessary in indoors as well as in neighbourhood; thus spraying of mosquito repellant is necessary.
(3) Limbs should be coated with mosquito repellant sprays and lotions.
(4) The dengue vector, i.e. the mosquito, is a daytime biter (it may bite anytime of the day) with peak episodes during sunrise and sunset; so remaining indoors and usage of mosquito repellants during this hour is important.
(5) Don't allow any stagnant water in your house.
Take care of yourself as well as your near and dear ones.
With Love,
Khushi
