South China's Guangdong province found 1,431 new dengue cases on Sunday. It made the total number be up to 21,527. The number was rising quickly, with more than 1,000 new cases found each day last week. And the outbreak of dengue this year is the worst in 20 years.
There is no vaccine against dengue, and there are no medicine to treat a dengue. Therefore, prevention is the most important step to be away from the disease. And prevention means keeping away from the mosquito and avoiding mosquito bites.
The best way to reduce mosquitoes is to clean up the water containers, like pet and animal watering containers, flower planter dishes and buckets with water, because the mosquito lays her eggs in these containers.
The adult mosquitoes like to bite inside and around homes during the day and at night when the lights are on. To protect yourself, use repellent on your skin. When possible, wear long sleeves and pants. Also, make sure window and door screens are without holes. Sleep under a mosquito bed net, and kill the mosquitoes you find indoors. If available, use air-conditioning.
If someone in your house is ill with dengue, pay special attention to prevent mosquitoes from biting the patient and going on to bite others in the house.
