DENGUE ALERT AGAIN - AUGUST 2018
Today some female health visitors from Government department came to our house (Lahore). They were visiting all houses in the area. I said that this is not the season for dengue but they said dengue attack has started earlier this year and in June. The health visitors checked the containers in our lawn and one container which was overlooked had rain water since few days. She took sample of water in a plastic bottle and showed me a dengue larva in the bottle. Afterwards, she said that the containers of water in lawn are okay if we change the water on daily basis.
Secondly, the water in unused water-coolers should be removed. The health visitors visited our backyard also and emptied another metal container which had rain-water accumulated in it. Afterwards, a spray was done around our house. They said it is a new kind of spray which has no smell unlike before and is harmless even for asthma patients.
So people, beware and read the safety measures about dengue again from different sources. Thanks to the government health team who visited our house in time.
