Prevention Is Better Than Cure
By Shakti
A number of cases of malaria and dengue have been reported from the residential colony near the Birhana road, Kanpur. These diseases are caused by mosquito bites. They can prove to be fatal. There is no vaccine to protect against them.
The ABCD approach to prevention can help to avoid malaria. A stands for awareness of risk, B refers to bite prevention, C stands for check whether you need to take antimalarial tablets, and D refers to diagnosis or seeking medical advice.
Prevention is better than cure. Mosquitoes breed in unclean areas. So it is essential to keep the surroundings clean. There should be no puddles or stagnant water. Garbage bins should be emptied regularly. If all the residents cooperate in this effort to provide a safe and healthy environment it may be possible to avoid these diseases.
