The monsoon started. However, one should not get too fascinated with the lovely weather because the rainy season also carries with it various health problems. While the scorching heat won’t be a problem for a few months, you and your family still need to take the proper safety measures to guard against the health risks caused by the monsoon season. Major illnesses that people are likely to be getting during the rainy season include Typhoid, Malaria, Dengue, and Jaundice.

Get clear of stagnant water

Frequently, flower pots and other containers contain stagnant water, which serves as a mosquito breeding ground. Deathly infections can result from mosquito bites. You must therefore exercise caution. Make sure there isn’t any standing water within the house or nearby. If necessary, use netting and insect repellents.

Drink pure water

In comparison to the summer, people tend to consume less water during the rainy season. Your body requires a basic amount of water depending on your specific necessitate irrespective of the season. Drink only boiling or purified water during the rainy season. Avoid drinking anything from roadside juice vendors or other places where you suspect the ice or water may not be pure. When you travel, bring your own filtered or boiled water.

Stay away from street food

Delicious street food is always tempting. However, during the rainy season, one should prioritise their health and refrain from consuming street food. Your street food counter’s exterior may seem clean, but we are unsure of the cooking space and the calibre of the ingredients used. Yes, these ideas are valid throughout the year, but the monsoon season calls for particular caution due to the health concerns involved. During the rainy season, it is preferable to rely on home-cooked food rather than street food

Stay away from pre-cut fruits and vegetables.

Pre-cut fruits and vegetables sometimes have a buildup of bacteria and germs. Never pre cut fruits or vegetables; instead, cut them right before you want to eat or cook. Thoroughly wash leafy veggies.

Avoid going into polluted water

Your feet may become infected with bacteria and viruses if you walk in dirty water. Try to avoid walking in the puddles of water on the road. Change your shoes as soon as you get home if you happen to be standing in one. Another good idea is to keep a pair of shoes and some socks at your place of work

Take a Good Bath

An excellent technique to maintain your hygiene is to take a good shower and clean yourself once you get home. This not only keeps us hydrated, but also reduces the effects of roadside contact with polluted water.

Don’t Face Wet Walls

Inside, your home’s walls can suffer damage during an intense rainfall. Fungus and wet walls work well together. Avoid touching or resting on moist walls, especially if you have asthma. Keep your distance from moist walls because they may cause allergies. If the issue continues, think about taking appropriate action.
